“my grandmother was born the day the Titanic sank.”
LOL, and my mother was born the day the Hindenburg burned!
Yikes, ping us next time someone is born in your family so we can all stay in bed with the covers pulled up tight.
So when your mother was born, They Can't Take That Away From Me by Fred Astaire was the bestselling record. Ozzie Nelson and Tommy Dorsey also had hit versions at the time. And when Kalee's grandmother was born, Moonlight Bay by the American Quartet would have been the chart topper had song hit charts existed at the time.
It’s common to mark time in one’s life by the significant events that occurred. We all remember where we were when the Challenger exploded, JFK was killed, 9/11, etc. My great grandmother used to talk about the Titanic. My grandmother talked about the Great Depression and the Lindbergh kidnapping.
