You made your mom, and possibly your dad as well (depending on his priorities), miss the Moon landing?!? Bad newbie... err, baby!
I was in the womb myself at the time, so I missed all the fun.
LOL I did make my mom miss the whole thing (she's never let me live it down). My dad, on the other hand was watching the moon landing and the first steps. He just ran to the hospital in between (born 6:04pm: after the landing but before the moonwalk). Sounds horrible but I would have done the same thing if I were him. You can always have a kid but how often do you get to see man walk on the moon for the first time :P ?

"yeah great kid hun" *checks watch* "But I really have to run now, see you tomorrow"
