So today is Thanksgiving and I'm realizing how unorthodox my childhood was. First of all, today is the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, which I didn't know was a thing until this morning. I'm also seeing all these "iconic" characters that I don't know. When I was a kid I didn't watch TV (except Jack Hanna, which was educational). I went outside and explored. I could write in cursive and print, speak some Spanish, and do multiplication by the time I was in Pre-K, but I'm still not sure who Charlie Brown is or know any of the names of the Muppets or the things on Sesame Street (what are they? Like monsters or something?) What was my childhood???
