How do you explain a bar of soap? Or Yellow Pages? And isn't it a sign of the times and generations that we'd even have to?

We were walking through Downtown Disney this past weekend, when we came upon a soap carving of Mickey Mouse. As Florida daugther and her hubby and I marvelled at the talent and effort and detail of the rather large carved sculpture, my grandson seemed confused, wondering how the only soap he's known in his life (the liquid variety, dispensed from a pump) could be carved to look like a giant Mickey Mouse.

Continuing the generational divide, upon arrival back at their condo, a set of actual hard-copy, paper Yellow Pages had been delivered outside their front door. Granddaughter #1 asked why anyone would actually use this method of finding things when there's Google.

It reminded me of the time I explained a "record album" to them or the Christmas when my brothers were gifting each other with "CDs" and I actually thought they were exchanging Certificates of Deposit.

The times they are a-changin'!
