Yes, I had a stove growing up….
It started out innocently enough, we were going to Build-A-Bear yesterday and my son asked me,
‘Did you ever go to Build-A-Bear with Nanny when you were a little girl?’ (‘Nanny’ is my mom.)
‘No, we didn’t have Build-A-Bear.’
Then I blew his cell-phone-obsessed mind-
‘We didn’t have cell phones either.’
‘Did you have home phones?’
‘Yes.’
‘But you know what we didn’t have? We didn’t have microwaves when I was a little girl.’
Wow… silence… more silence… absorbing this all…
and then the most logical question:
‘Did you have Kitchens?’
‘Yes.’
‘Did you have a stove?’
‘Yes.’
‘Did you have a refrigerator?’
‘Yes, we had everything that is in our kitchen right now, except the microwave.’
‘… (with an expression now like he’s not sure to believe me)… REALLY?’
