WELL,  these are every day items now. where as when we were young they were not.  we had ball......stick........cap pistol.

  However, I can feel your pain. After expaining to him how we had typing classes when we were in school,  My son looked at me puzzled and asked  "Mom, what is a typewriter?"

Answer 5

I told my 3 year old son to roll up his window (in the car) and he said "daddy, you don't ROLL it up, up PUSH it up."  I was amazed.  I haven't been in a car without automatic windows in quite a long time!

Answer 6

forty years ago remote control, mobile phone, computer etc. wasnt invented as such, so you would'nt have known them

Answer 7

What's weird is the way some of them speak to each other. It's a completely different language. They use English that I have never heard before, and they seem to know about everything.

Answer 8

There are probably loads. It just reflects all the different things around the house that wouldn't have been around 30-40 years ago. It will be the same with our grandkids/great grandkids. Just as technology/life progresses, so does the everyday words that kids learn.

Answer 9

I call my dog's v****a a ' buzzy '
