Growing up, my family watched Important Events together. We saw, as a family, the first walk on the Moon in 1969. we saw every liftoff and splashdown. We watched Nixon resign (my mother taped it on cassette!). We also watched the local weather, silent as a church, as my mother had (and still has) a phobia about storms and my stepdad was a weather!geek and amateur meteorologist.

Now, my current family (who're grown or almost grown themselves, wah!) still punch the ceiling of the car and say "Pididdle" when we see a car with one headlight. We still play twenty questions on long car rides or restaurant trips. And we still know a lot of the old Waldorf finger-games. :)
