Children Sure Have A Gift For Making You Feel Old

I was picking up my kids after school one day when my fifth-grader suddenly remembered something she wanted to show me. It was a piece of notebook paper on which she and her friend had drawn a phone screen and were writing messages (including the chat bubbles) to each other.

Daughter: “Yeah, we’re not allowed our phones in school, but [Friend] and I figured out how to text each other anyway!”

Me: “When I was in school, we called that ‘passing notes.’”

Daughter: “But you didn’t even have texting back then!”

Me: *Facepalm*
