Nancy vs. Tonya, Round 2

This evening Cate & Joanie brought over frozen custard. I asked them if they knew who Nancy Kerrigan & Tonya Harding were.

Cate's reply, "Is she [Nancy] related to...Jason?"

Nope.

Nancy vs. Tonya

I mistakenly thought the entire world, or at least American world, knew about Tonya Harding hiring her ex-boo to club Nancy Kerrigan in the knee. I thought this was common knowledge. Apparently, it's not.

This evening, Travis and I were watching "World's Dumbest Criminals" (because that's the type of quality television Travis wanted to watch) when Tonya Harding popped up for a commentary. It went a little something like this:

Me: "oh snap, it's Tonya Harding."
Travis: Silence.
Me: "Travis, do you know who Tonya Harding is?"
Travis: Silence + a dumb look.
Me, hitting Travis in the foot: "TRAVIS! How do you not know who Tonya Harding is? She clubbed Nancy Kerrigan!"
Travis: "Are these like political people. I don't really watch the news."
Me: "No, no, no, no..."

So I googled the WORLD CHANGING event (yes, I realize it wasn't that big of a deal except I love me a good cat fight) to make sure I got the details correct as I relayed them to Travis. His comment, "Yeah, 1994, I was 5." I'm old. FML.

In case you, like Travis, are just a pup, this is what I was referring to.
