What Lucas Shouted Up the Stairs When I Got Out of the Shower This Morning
“Adrienne! The Animaniacs are from when BILL CLINTON was in office!”
Remember you heard it here first.

Um... well... yeah.
Uh, that's why we like them? Nostalgia?
*clears throat* There's really nothing we can say that Lucas will believe, is there?
You are so busted. Poor child, you fed him on STALE CARTOONS.

That shows a really high knowledge of history(gulp!)for such a little guy :-)The cartoon shows superior taste!

So funny. Is the Bill-Clinton-era of The Animaniacs, like, considered the golden age or something? I don't know my Animaniacs, unfortunately.

Tanita, Lucas also told me that his school bought their social studies textbooks while Bill Clinton was in office. This morning, he was repeatedly watching their cartoon about "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere," so I think he's not holding their age against them.
Momster, I did explain this to him once before, but it was a couple years ago. :)
Jules, They were made when Clinton was president, and he is featured in the opening song--and, I think, in at least one of the cartoons.

Oh, I see! I read it all wrong...I thought he meant, "I'm about to watch The Animaniacs that were on during the Clinton years," as opposed to, say, the Dubya years. Got it. Got it.
That shows you how much I know about *that* cartoon. Doy. Good story. The end.
(Doing my part to help revive the word "doy.")
