'The Wonder Years' family was the kind where everything seemed to be bubbling and simmering with the occasional explosion. There were a lot of things that went unsaid in that family. In my family, everything is said - on the surface, you scream and yell about it, and three minutes later, you're all friends.
I always say that even though my dad was alive during Woodstock, he was just not invited. He just seemed like he was from a different generation.
