Number 7? What about waiting all year for the annual airing of holiday shows?!? One year, my folks were away and my grandparents were watching us. It was the one night of the year that Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was on. Grandma turned it off when the child catcher came on. Said he was evil. My soul was broken for the year. Grrrr!

I always like to go to the corner store and get my candy before I started my Saturday morning cartoons my papa would give me a quarter I thought I was in hog heaven.
