knapplc Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Would it be rude to say OP's mom? Wait, I can't say that. This isn't Reddit. N/M 2 Quote Link to comment
I AM FOOT FOOT Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I made it through the Barney years with 2 toddler daughters, and went right into the spice girls craze a few years later. I've used everything I've learned then to block out the trump administration now. 1 2 Quote Link to comment

JJ Husker Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 How about the space shuttle Challenger explosion? Were any of you young pups around for that one? IIRC that was pretty big world news. 2 Quote Link to comment

I was a little kid...but I remember the principal at my school coming on the intercom and saying that it blew up and that they didn't know if anyone was alive...then we said a prayer (and shockingly it was okay and there was no issues with that) Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 I would add in the day I lost my virginity but that was really not memorable for me or the girl. "Tear down that wall" That might fall under this topic. And like...I didn't know it at the time...but Rocky IV was basically just a "f#&% YOU, COMMIES" movie. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I remember watching OJ Simpson's trial verdict in class in 3rd grade but that's more USA than global. I was only 2 when the Challenger exploded. What about when Michael Jackson died? That was pretty global 1 Quote Link to comment

I think Challenger is a good answer. I know it's mostly USA space program stuff, but stuff that happens in America affects the planet. When we sneeze, the entire world catches a cold. That kind of thing. That's why I said Obama getting elected. In America, it was just another election, with the weirdness that a Black man became President. But that had a HUGE impact across the world, that we're mostly inured to because most of us don't travel abroad. Quote Link to comment

HUSKER 37 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 This was probably my weekly reminder that WE were global: And my own dad being a B-29 bomber pilot in the rotation for dropping the Atom Bomb in WWll Which he never mentioned to me. (which I guess technically was actually before my lifetime). But JFK getting assassinated was my first memory @ 3 years old Quote Link to comment

You don't fall over and die if you get it. Gobert was going to play an NBA basketball game last night before testing positive. Fred Hoiberg couldn't even coach a game with influenza A. 1 Quote Link to comment
