In the Olden Days

We were watching "The Gods Must Be Crazy" today and K was trying to figure out what the "evil thing" was that was dropped from the airplane. We told him it was a Coke bottle and he said, "I thought so, but it looks like it is made out of glass!"

Yes, honey, in the olden days they used to make pop bottles out of glass.

We used to dial telephones (not push buttons), roll car windows up and down (not push buttons), send letters in the mail (not email), get ice from trays in the freezer (not push a button on the front). And, believe it or no, a phone was connected by a wire in the house. You could not play games on it, send text messages on it, take pictures with it, or connect to the internet--in fact, there was no internet!
