@chel_c_cam The same is true for music. Everyone listened to the same thing in the car, and that selection was usually controlled by the adults. And far fewer methods of exposure, esp for those in rural areas that didn’t have a massive # of radio stations.

@perfectsweeties My parents. Cat randomly showed up on their porch. They were in the country so it’s not like it was a roaming neighborhood cat. Apparently got dropped off near a neighbor’s and their cats ran him off. My dad adored him every day of his life. They are together again. 🌈
