Twice in the last few months, I have had this conversation with my two youngest children, both actually adults now.
Me: :"You'll need to find the Dr.'s phone number so we can ask them about that."
Me: Find out the number of the pharmacy in that city so we can have your prescription called in."
Them: "How would I do that?"
Me: "A Phonebook"
Them: "A Phonebook? What's that?"
Them: "How do you find it in this? Alphabetical order? What?"
Do my kids really not know what a phonebook is? Or how to find something alphabetically?
Could they be the victim of the ever ready text/phone/information age?
Or am I just a victim of the Generation Gap?
I heard on the news today that over 80% of younger people have no idea who Colonel Sanders is.
I know Jessica doesn't because she asked me who the "really lame dude" was on the tee-shirt she saw.
I love technology - I do. But am I strong enough to watch the cliches', the ways and the methods of my generation pass by?
I swear, these kids nowadays........

Oh yes. Hannah came home from school and told me how they listened to music from a really large back CD.
And another (almost grown) child sat in the Dr. office before calling me and asking if I had given the wrong appt time. He never bothered to check in with the receptionist.
I continue to be amazed by it:)
