168. A local morning program for children, Wanda Wanda or something like that.
Fri Jun 18, 2021, 06:42 AM
Jun 2021

I remember she asked her audience to write in and say what they think is good. I had no idea so asked my mother, who suggested "bread is good" because it's Christian, as in communion, bread being the body of Christ. Wanda Wanda read my comment and even as a small child recognized she was like, "What the hell, okay, whatever." Did not ask my mother to advise me about anything after that.
