Finding that I'm vintage
Our Guild will be having a Quilt Show in the fall. My Gkids have been sewing for a couple years now (ages 9 and 10). They want to make things to sell and I have made some suggestions of easier things. One was to make a little quit to put over a buggy - then 'What's a Buggy?' Next I suggested making coasters and bowls out of clothes lines - then 'What's a clothes line'. Really?

I remember, probably, 15 years ago, I told my GD that we didn't have soda in cans when I was a kid. The look on her face was priceless. "You mean pop didn't come in a can?"

We have that whenever my husband mentions some old TV show at the office and we laugh and our employees who are young have no clue what we are talking about.

My granddaughter is decorating her kitchen with "antique" license plates...she found one from 1996 and was thrilled:(

I told my grandson to look it up in the phone book. He seriously asked, "What is a phonebook?"

I told my sixteen year old granddaughter that when we were at Morning Glory Pool in Yellowstone in 1953, it was full of coins, cigarette butts and flashbulbs. She asked, "What's a flashbulb?"

I was talking to a young customer one day and mentioned folding something like a map. He had no idea what a gas station type map was.
And I took a picture of my granddaughter when she was about 3 (she's 15 now). She came running over to look at the picture I had just taken on the back of the camera. She couldn't understand why she couldn't see it immediately. |
