The Circle on TV

It was the summer of 1956 and I was still five years old.
My Swedish grandparents had just bought a TV, but of course the programms were sent only a few hours a day.
Grandma sent me from the kitchen to the living room «to watch TV».
After some time (the story does not say how many minutes...) I returned to the kitchen, announcing: »I am not going to watch that circle any more.»

PS. Imagine my surprise when I saw that same circle on TV this morning, March 2007. The only difference – then it was in black and white, now it is in color.
