A Different Kind of History – DITL

Here’s one way we are teaching the kids some more modern history. 🙂

Yesterday we were at a youth orchestra performance and they played a song that Kermit sings, possibly Rainbow Connection, I honestly didn’t recognize the song (and now don’t remember) but I asked my kids if either of them knew who Kermit the Frog was and neither did.

We’ve been watching Family Matters together slowly over the past few weeks and I’m trying to remember other good TV shows from my childhood they should know, apparently Sesame Street should go on the list.
