26. Even in my nice childhood

I remember nuclear bomb drills, kneeling in front of the school lockers.
I remember the Cuban missile crises and one of the kids saying that his mom told him "the bombs would start falling after school let out that day".
I remember some guy flashing my little sisters as they walked home from school.
I remember two Kennedys and Martin Luther King being assassinated.
I remember police attacking marchers with fire hoses and dogs and Billy clubs.
I remember waiting for the draft lottery results.
I remember feeling guilty after the me too movement for not reporting a teenage child molester when I was ten.
And I had a pretty idyllic childhood.
Nicky has either scrubbed her memories or is just reading garbage a speechwriter prepared for her.
