I was 3 when JFK was assassinated. I remember it because my dad came home from work early and I was sitting on my tricycle in the living room watching the news. My parents were really quiet and were sitting on the couch. Dinner was quiet too. Usually we talked about things or I would show Dad something I drew that day.

The next historical event would have been the moon landing. Everyone was watching it, you could see out our living room window and all the houses I could see across the street had it on. Once school was back in session we talked a lot about it in class and the science behind how we got there. I was 9 then.
