When I Was Your Age

Now that I'm a teacher I find myself saying things that my 5th graders have NO clue what I'm talking about. For example the other day students were using laptops to research the 3 branches of government. One student was complaining that it was taking him too long to find the needed information.

So I replied, "When I was in fifth grade, we didn't have the Internet or laptops. We had to look up all of our information in encyclopedias." To which the student replied, "Is that the same thing as World Book Online?"
