The Olden Days

I was reading books with my son, Jason, the other night before bed. He was holding a stretchy green ball that has spikes on it (he calls it his sea urchin). He took two of the spikes and pulled them way up high and let the ball hang down. Then he said “Hey Mom - is this what TV’s looked like in the olden days? You know, then they had those weird things sticking up out of them?”

THE OLDEN DAYS?!?! OMG! I remember having that very TV in my house as a child - and I certainly don’t consider myself old!

I picture the olden days as buggies and horses on dirt roads Little House on the Prairie style. Not so much as color TVs with rabbit ears!

    [...] I guess it’s just more proof that mom and dad come from “the olden days.” [...]
