I had the best conversation this week with Nina (pronounced Nine-uh), Gretchen's daughter. I think she's 5 or 6. We were in my classroom.
Nina: Bethany, what's this?
Me: That's a cassette tape.
Nina: What's a cassette tape?
Me: (Realizing I am freaking OLD) Well, it's for listening to music.
Nina: (incredulous, curious and staring at the cassette tape) How??
Me: Well, you have to put it in a tape deck. (Realizing I don't even have a tape player any more, so a demonstration would be impossible.)
Nina: Like this? (Then she held the cassette tape up to her ear and shook it so it rattled.) Is that the music?
