conversation with a 9 year old
“Mom, do you have any Madonna CD’s?”
“No, why?”
“Because she is soooo cool.”
“Really? I once had some of her cassettes, before I started ripping free music off of the internet.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Well, sometimes I “borrow” music by downloading it–”
“No, what was that word you just said.”
“What? Cassettes?”
“Yeah.”
“Umm, they were kinda like miniature VHS tapes, before CD’s came out.”
“VHS?”
“Yeah, they came after betas. Around the time of Fragglerock, when all kids wanted Teddy Ruxpin, He-Man, and Kid Brother or Sister. Oh, and we would have Koosh ball wars during the summers.”
“You are making all of that up.”
“No, I’m not.”
“You’re weird.”
“Well, that happens when you are older than dirt. Someday, your kids won’t have a clue what Webkinz are.”
“Whatever.”

Ryan likes to bring up You Tube and watch our old cartoons. Now they seem so archaic
