My parents thoughts on the cold war

When I asked my mom about the cold war, barely remembered anything. She only remembered that the Russians would dominate in the Olympics and that everyone was trying to beat them. The other thing she said was a bad joke about the cold war saying that she was freezing during it. Luckily, my dad was a little bit better, but not by much. He couldn't get over the fact that the United States was ripped of in the 1972 olympic basketball game between the US and the Russians. He claimed that the referees rigged the end so that the Russians would win. He didn't remember much about the nuclear situation besides that everyone was afraid of them bombing us, and he luckily didn't try to make any jokes.
