More facts of nature: All forest animals, to this very day, remember exactly where they were and what they were doing when they heard that Bambi’s mother had been shot.

I was down by the edge of the lake at the time. / I was just getting ready to cross the interstate. / I was in the glen, just finishing a new burrow when I got the news. / I was looking for crawdads in my favorite creek. / I was under a rock, getting ready to shed.
Yes, JFK would 100% be my assumption!
“Where were you when you heard JFK was assassinated?” was the one I had always heard before 9/11. It had become kind of a meme by the 1980s or 90s.
When 9/11 happened I was like “well now I know what that feels like.” The Columbine shooting comes to mind nowadays, but obviously that got overshadowed by 9/11.
I actually even remember my mom telling me about how she heard about JFK, she was in grade school and they gathered all the kids for an assembly to tell them. That’s how common it was, we definitely talked about it when I was a kid!
