Well, back to a prompt that I can get behind! Today we are talking about the boob tube. Isn’t it funny, people don’t really call the TV the boob tube any more, but I knew what Lain meant.
Now… I remember the TV, I do. I remember that we watched Sesame Street and the Electric Company. Later we watched a TON of MTv. But, what I remember most about the TV was that I wanted to watch Little House on the Prairie. I loved that show. I loved everything about that show. I lived for Laura Ingalls. I really did. When I was 4, my friends and I would talk about the show at preschool. Well, they would talk about it. I would go home and ask my mom why I didn’t get to watch the show the night before. She told me that if I wanted to know when the show was on so that I could watch it, I needed to read the TV Guide so that I could know when it was on.
So, at 4 years old, I learned how to read. I read the TV guide and I watched Little House on the Prairie. And all was good in gwenland.
