My Mom and Dad served a couple of missions for our church.
One of them was a year and a half in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
During their mission they didn't watch any TV.
I know...
Near the end of their mission, I was on the phone with my Mom.
She mentioned that since they hadn't seen TV in quite awhile, she was wondering
if there was anything I would recommend checking out.
I suggested West Wing.
There was a pregnant pause.
Then she said, indignantly, "I raised you BETTER than that!"
...
What?
...
"Mom. It's a show about the President of the United States. You know, The West Wing?
Of the White House?"
(We're Canadian, but sheesh!)
...
Oh. (She says) I thought you said Wrestling!
I can see where she might be confused.
It's still one of my family's favorite stories!
