Wow

The kiddo and I were talking about the history of tech. Sort of. I explained how we didn't have tech to entertain us on car rides or while waiting for things to happen when I was a kiddo. 

K: So all you could do was stare out the window?!?

M: No. I could read a book. 

K: Just a book?

M: No. I also used my imagination. 

K: So like a flying box?

I went steaight faced for a moment. She is currently all about flying boxes. 

M: Better. I made whole worlds, imaginary creatures...

K: Really??!?

M: Ayup. I was awesome with my imagination. 

The kiddo sat back, reflective for a few moments. 

K: So you didn't have an iPad?

M: Nope. Kiddo, you're older than the iPad. 

K: WHAT??

M: Ayup. You were born before the iPad was invented. 

I think I broke my kiddo's brain. She sat in stunned silence for the remainder of the journey home.
