Alisia brought home an encyclopedia for the letter C. She said her teacher was giving them out. They have several sets in the class room and they haven't used them in years! She thought it was cool that she could look up anything that starts with the letter C actually in a book (opposed to online). I wonder if Aaron will ever have to use a hard copy dictionary or thesaurus or encyclopedia.In honor of Black History Month, Caleb is learning a little about it. He asked me last night: "is it true that when you were little, black kids couldn't go to school?"
He was amazed that this used to be the case and couldn't understand why. But I had to explain to him that was before Mommy was born.
I was cleaning out some boxes (from our move last summer!) and Alisia saw this on the wall and asked "What is that for?"
We haven't had a house phone for more than 5 years so I guess she doesn't remember. And with cell phones and wireless internet she may never have to use one of these in her lifetime!
I guess my generation is so used to change and new gadgets. I love that grandma thinks it's incredible that we can Skype with my brother's family in Korea. When we show her something new, she always exclaims in disbelief "how do they do that!?"

Yeah, WE'RE pretty old... today in technology class, one of my students was doing a powerpoint on Nintendo and on their timeline they had the Wii, the N64, the super nintendo, and even the game boy but when I asked them what about the nintendo system- they just stared at me blankly! AH!
That's funny...good thing you didn't ask about Atari! (which was OUR first!)
That is halarious, Brooke! It really made me laugh what Caleb said. So funny!!!
