Da Amy Wallace var barn i Urbana, Illinois, blev hun hver lørdag morgen vækket af sin storebror David. Han var fast besluttet på ikke at gå glip af starten på The Road Runner Show. De satte sig foran fjernsynet, hvor David ventede utålmodigt på, at farvebåndene skulle forsvinde og tegnefilmen begynde. Til sidst ville han strække sig ud på gulvtæppet, mens Amy satte sig på den grønne, ru sofa bag ham.
Over 50 år senere er mindet om den sofa stadig levende for Amy. Den var grøn, ru og ubehagelig, men hun deltog alligevel glad i deres ugentlige ritual. Deres mor, Sally Foster, beskrev det sådan her: »Amy tilbragte sine morgener med at se David se tv.« Men det var ikke helt præcist.
For Amy var det ikke bare om at se tv – det var om at være sammen med sin bror. Hun sad på sofaen, mens David var opslugt af tegnefilmene, og det blev en fast tradition, der bandt dem sammen. Selv i dag er det et minde, hun ikke slipper.
