Mommy: You know, when we were kids we didn’t have computers at all!***
Avery: Really???
Daddy: Yes, that’s right.
Avery: Why?
Mommy: Well, lots of reasons. They cost a lot of money and they were much bigger than they are now.
Avery: But how did you check the weather???

***I lied. In reality, both my family and the hubby’s family had computers when we were quite young children. But I was making a point. And when we were young it was still pretty rare for people to own a computer.

Back in my day… I remember being the first family in town to own a VCR and the remote control had a cord and you had to plug it into the VCR for it to work. As for computers, the 64 was a dream unit!

I love that story! I always enjoy talking to kids because they see the world so differently. (Nice to meet you!)

Our oldest son cried the other day when I told him that I wasn’t getting an iPhone. Yikers.
