This was all part of the "News of the Week" quiz on aarp today.
I always tend to do that one as it nets me 450 points and lets me know what I've missed by not watching the news.
(smile!)
This was one of the first questions.
It asked which event did -not- happen this year to the new President-Elect.
I knew about the 2 attempts on his life and the 34 criminal convictions and the election result.
I also knew he didn't host "Saturday Night Live", as that show has plenty of folks who can imitate him.
Good for me!
Then a question or two later was this.
Truth to tell, had it not been for the Angell Tree shopping experience on Sunday, I would not have had a clue.
As it was, I chose "Caitlin Clark" because it was the only name I recognized.
What a treat to find out I'd guessed correctly on this one!
And all because I'd done a good deed.
All in all, though, this next question was my absolute favorite.
The only way they could have made this a slam dunk would've been to mention the name Bobby White.
It really was no surprise to learn that "My Girl" was 60 years old.
After all, I'm 66 and I can't remember ever not having this song in my life.
I'm sure that Mama sang it to me as soon as it hit the airwaves, and I know she and I would sing it to each other while washing dishes.
Good memories!
