Did Your Parents Make You Watch Documentaries?

[Michael Chris]

I kept an encyclopedia or two under my bed... it was essential bedtime reading.

Oh, GOD! My dad made an impulse buy back in like 1972 and got two sets of encyclopedias from a door to door salesman. My mother got pissed at him but they came in handy because I read those things like they were comic books.

I even begged her to not throw them away a couple of years ago so I could keep them for the memories. She thought I was crazy.

I kept one of my home encyclopedias under my desk at school too - a useful second resource to have. I still have it somewhere.

How on earth do you fit an encyclopedia under a school desk?

No they didn't make me. They didn't have to, I was watching them because I wanted to. I still do.
Documentaries are great.

I wasn't forced to watch, but I did enjoy watching them as a child. This was because I wanted to learn, and my school was seriously deficient in the knowledge department.
