I'm older than dirt! (13 out of 15!)
My daughter (19) sent me a picture yesterday. She and her friend had found something, but didn't know what it was. After questioning her, and finally asking where they found it (should have asked that first! - it was in Grandma's sewing basket) I figured out it was a darning egg, the kind with a handle on it.
DD's response? "What's darning?" !! :lol: :lol: :lol:
I had to explain that it's what our parents used to do when their socks got holes in them! No throwing them out and going to WalMart to get new ones! We REPAIRED clothes instead of pitching them!
