a child of the age

"What?  How do you send a video through the mail?"

The kids were watching America's Funniest Home Videos last night.  You know how they ask for your videos in every episode?  These days most people upload them from whatever, but it seems they still give a snail mail address for the more techno-challenged types.  So Michael was a bit confused when they got to the part about "or, you can mail your video to (xyz address)."  I explained to him how back in the stone age when the show first came out, you had to send them VHS tapes through the mail!  At least he knows what VHS tapes are, but it was another Oy, I Feel Old moment.
