i'll tell my grandkids that...
my great-grandma was the first woman to drive a car in heber city. i saw a woman run for president for the first time. i used to listen to cassette tapes and remember the first CDs i ever owned (all 4 one, celine dion. hahaha) i remember when we got a DVD player to replace our VHS and using the old macs in elementary school to play computer games when laptops were unheard of. i remember (in COLLEGE) using a whiteboard to write down missed phone calls to roommates for people who had called on our landline. i can say that i saw the day when gas prices reached $4/gallon and i tracked the price of a barrel of oil as it climbed a dollar more each day - and that $4 used to be a lot. they probably won't believe me.

I'll tell them that I had the coolest cousins ever!!
they'll believe you, grandkids always believe their grandmas. its their grandpas they have to watch out for...walking for miles to school in three feet of snow...i'm sure every grandpa just waits for the day when they can say that line. i just hope they don't have too hard a time believing that "sorry" and "monopoly" were once games played on a little piece of cardboard that everybody huddled around, and that kids were actually encouraged to play in a big box of sand built in the backyard.
