Funny/Cute Question on Twitter Today

Without revealing your actual age, what's something you remember that if you told a younger person they wouldn't understand?

For me, it would be the ceramic water bottle my mom had for sprinkling clothes with water before steam irons were invented . . .

How about you?

Being the remote for the tv rather than actually having one.

Another reason why kids just don't get their exercise in these days.

@Laura14 Ain't that the truth! I remember my dad calling me from another room just to change the channel for him (thankfully, it wasn't a really large house).
