A History Lesson

This one is for all the sports folks out there...can't believe this is a "History 101" lesson...

A few weeks ago we turned on the TV and the Basketball Hall of Fame Inductions were being televised on ESPN. Andy was so excited because they were just starting to introduce Michael Jordan (you know....6'6" Andy...played basketball all his life...still wears his NCAA ring on occasion (just kidding)...had 13 posters of Michael Jordan on his bedroom wall...THAT Andy).

THE Michael Jordan. Number 23. Chicago Bulls.
GREATEST.PLAYER.EVER.

As we started to watch...

Jack - "Dad, who is that?"

Andy - "Jack, that is Michael Jordan."

Jack - "Who is Michael Jordan?"

I SERIOUSLY thought Andy was going to :
A. Start crying.
B. Have a fatal heart attack.
C. Send Jack to his room until he could give a 30 page dissertation on Michael Jordan's achievements.

So I kindly reminded my writhing-in-pain husband
"Honey, this is a legitimate question. He should not know who Michael Jordan is."

That's right, folks. We are THAT old.
History 101.

As a side note, we are still answering questions about Michael Jackson....
