Things we don’t say anymore…

March 20, 2008
The other day my kids surprised me when they saw an image of an envelope on a piece of paper I had and immediately said "look Daddy - email" I started to think about a lot of other things that they will never know about and came up with this list of things we don't say anymore.

The other day my kids surprised me when they saw an image of an envelope on a piece of paper I had and immediately said "look Daddy - email" I started to think about a lot of other things that they will never know about and came up with this list of things we don't say anymore.

"There's no money in the Internet" - my uncles sage advice to me in the mid 1990's. (Goes with my fathers wise statement that we would never fill the 20m hard drive on our 286 PC - even if we tried!) And the biggest change to routine in my lifetime... "Of course I'm at home. How else could I answer the phone?" - remember that...big things attached to the wall with a dial on the front. Wow...
