On the way back from Catfish painting today, I started pondering shopping for an iPod. Feeling more and more out of touch with technology every day, I decided to ask Catybug if she knew what one was. Then I would know not only how “hip” she is, but how long it will be before her gifts start getting pricey!

So here’s how our conversation went:

Me: “Honey, do you know what an iPod is?”
Her: “Yeah, why?”
Me: “Really? Well what is it?”
Her: “It’s that thing that holds your eye in place!”
Me: “Really? What makes you say that?”
Her: “I read it in a book!”
Me: “Hm. Interesting!”

So now she wants to know what an iPod really is. And now I really don’t want to tell her, because I think that’s a really funkadelic new term for “eye socket”. I like it.

I’m a mean mom, I know, I allow my children to be misinformed purely for my own selfish entertainment.
