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?’
