I was 7 years old when this episode originally aired, but I remember it quite well. My mother was pregnant with my youngest brother at the time, and the whole business of welcoming a new baby was A Thing in my life.

My daughter is a huge Daniel Tiger fan; the old Mr Rogers episodes are like secret histories

This baby grows up to have every service job in town and go to college
