I always watched the 6 pm news with my Dad because we were required to stay quite then so he could hear it.I started reading the paper once my reading skills were good enough to read it probably by 9? I was eased differently and my parents thought it important that I remember history as it was happening from the Kennedy assassination when I was 3 yo to the first moon landing when they got me out of bed to watch live on TV.
eased= raised I hate this auto correct.
