That's a nun falling down the stairs, what does a newspaper have to do with it?

This is why it's important to isolate your children from life as you speedrun them through YOUR childhood first. You're not just giving your kids one good life, but two bad ones!

...that's why I use "sunburned penguin/zebra" as my punchline

I always see this stuff and really it has nothing to do with age. I think its the kid or parents interest in teaching and learning. When I was 9 I knew what an 1899 Victrola was (and no, despite my steam profile, I wasnt born in 1901). I knew what typewriters were and had a couple. I knew what a john Deere single row plow was.

I'm not really a history buff though. I just figured throughout life that we should know about things that came before us. I keep learning more about old things and some new things daily.

I think its just ignorance. If you are 13 today and seriously dont know what a CD is, thats just idiocy. maybe if you dont know what a cassette is I'd get it, but still. Its not hard to learn.
