30 Years in 30 Days--1982

I turned 4 this year and my grandfather, Papa, got very sick. He was in and out of the hospital. I shoplifted for the first (ok, only) time taking a package of gumdrops from our local drug store. Michael Jackson released “Thriller”. I had the record “The Chipmunks Sing ‘Thriller’” where The Chipmunks sand the entire album. John Belushi died of a drug overdose at the age of 33.

Misty said...: I was really tickled when we were watching Kronk's New Groove on Disney a weekend or two ago and they did "Thriller".

Yet another example of something thrown in to keep the parents awake!; November 6, 2008 at 12:45 PM
