Generation gap

Anna has just proven to me that she is growing up in a completely different world than I did. I'm sure we've all noticed that kids today have things very differently than we did as kids, for instance the first thing my kids do when they see a stuffed animal in the store is press its stomach or hand or foot to see if it talks. Or when you take a picture of a child they immediately run to see what the picture looks like on the other side of the camera, even if you are using a 35mm, and they don't understand why you would have such a weird camera without a screen to get your instant photo gratification.

So today's proof of a generation gap was the following:

Anna and Beth have been playing together very nicely this morning (both were home sick from school and preschool). They were imagining they were friends and were having a sleep over at each other's houses. They even asked the imaginary moms for permission. They were playing in their room with the door closed, but we can still hear the game. Well, Chris called Beth to tell her he is ready to glue gun this craft she brought home from school, and we hear Anna say to Beth "I'll pause the game". The door opens, out they come and Anna stops, looks into the room, and says "Pause!" Because the game might have gone on without them had it not been 'paused', lol.
