Kids say the funniest things....

So, I brought my car into the dealership earlier in the week because the passenger side door latch isn't latching properly. I drive a Chevy Traverse - 8 passenger SUV, with power locks, windows, satellite radio, onstar, and a backup camera.

The dealership was nice enough to cover a loaner for me. I joked with the service manager about arranging a corvette, and we both got a good chuckle over that. What I ended up getting was a Chevy Aveo. Cute little 4 door car, bright red and with a lot of spunk.

When I picked it up I had Chris with me and once all the papers were signed, and I took out the insurance, (because you KNOW I'd get into an accident if I didn't), we crammed ourselves into the little car.

Once on the road, Chris asks, "What's this?"

"What's what?" I ask. (I'm driving, and can't look at what he's referring to).

"This handle on the door." At a red light I look and chuckle.

"It's the handle to roll down the window."

"It is? What do you do with it?"

"You turn it and the window comes down."

"Can I do it?"

"Sure!" I sat there amazed.

I always find it weird that my kids will never know what life is like without computers, cell phones, video games with AMAZING graphics, and Hi-Def TV. But I never really thought about the little things - like a window handle, or having to manually pull up and push down the door locks.

But when our children live in the technological society in which we have today, where there are tv's built into the cars, and 3D tv's, of course they wouldn't know something as manual as that.

Kind of makes me wonder what their kids will have. I mean, how much further can we actually go? Will their kids be saying, "There used to be cars that actually had wheels and stayed on the road?!!?"

Scarey isn't it?
