Was when I was 7 years old in 2003 and I was watching TV with my dad
Suddenly a breaking news report came on to tell us that Saddam Hussein had been captured by the US military in Iraq
My dad was like holy shit saddam Hussein was captured!! And he told me to run and go tell my mother upstairs
So I ran upstairs and my mom was in the shower so I yelled through the door at her MOM SADDAM HUSSEIN WAS CAPTURED!!!! To which she responded WHAT?!?!?!!! SADDAM HUSSEIN IS IN OUR BACKYARD?????!!?!! WHAT?!!!!!!!!
So at the age of seven having barely any idea who the fuck saddam Hussein was I had to calm my mother down over the idea that an evil Iraqi dictator had found his way into my backyard in Connecticut
