I love the show Mad Men. The daughter Sally is representative of my generation. I would have been her same age in the year the story takes place.
In the episode last night, I didn't quite buy one of the storylines. Betty tells Sally that Don was married before and to ask Megan about it. Sally comes unglued over the fact that "she was lied to"; Megan didn't tell her about her dad's first marriage.
When I was a teen in the 60s, I found out that my dad had been married and divorced. His marriage to my mom was his second marriage. The way I found out? I discovered a picture of his first wife in a box of old photos. I asked my mom who the lady was and she told me. I was shocked, but I wasn't mad that I'd never been told. I wanted to know why I'd never been told and was given a perfectly reasonable explanation. I thought it was kind of neat for some reason. It made my dad more interesting.
Okay, I'm not Sally. But I just didn't fully buy her reaction. I'm just saying . . .
