A father & son chat

“TVs only had three channels when you were little?”

“Yes, son.”

“And did it have a remote control?”

“Yes, Me.  My dad made me get up and change the channel. And then get him a beer.”

“Was the world in black and white, too?”

“No.”

“Did you use the internet for your book reports.”

“No, we used encyclopedias.”

“What’s an encyclopedia? Did you text Grandma on your cell phone about it?”

“We didn’t have cell phones. We called on land lines with rotary dials.  And text was the print in newspapers.”

“What’s a newspaper?”

“How we got our news.”

“All the kids in middle school have cell phones. When did you get your first one?”

“When I was 30.”

“Did you play video games?”

“Yes, an Atari.”

“Did you watch movies on Netflix?”

“We watched movies on Betamax.”

“Dad?”

“What?”

“How did you survive in such a primitive time?”

“One day at a time.”

“Did the dinosaurs try to eat you?”

“No, your aunt left me alone.”
