I can't watch streaming videos at work, so I'm very curious as to how Garfield relates to today's quiz.
I believe that was PG-13, in response to the move Gremlins, which at the time the MPAA considered not quite PG, not quite R. Today it would probably be rated G, but whatever :)
Also, two things, 1) that is the most depressing birthday song ever and 2) until about 30 seconds ago I totally thought my mom had made up that whole "Good Morning to You" song!! :)
PG-13 it is!
Jen, yes, I highly doubt the original song was sung by Garfield, but some crazy YouTuber was able to put it together!
Kim, good job! And I also thought my mom had made up "Good Morning To You." They must teach it in parenting classes or something :)
