In reply to the discussion: What's the WORST cartoon show from when you were a kid? [View all]dawg day
(7,947 posts)5. wanna know something shameful--
When JFK was assassinated, we had the next day off (Catholic school, first grade), and I didn't really understand what was going on as there had been deaths in the family and I thought JFK was some distant cousin (I wasn't really very politically aware!).
So we had the day off from school, and I was mad because there was nothing but news on, of course-- no cartoons at all! I sat there grumping watching all this "boring stuff". And I was still watching when Lee Harvey Oswald was killed on live TV. I tell you, kids are oblivious. My parents were just stunned, and there I was whining how I really wanted to watch Woody Woodpecker.
