Old School vs. New School

(Student walks into math class wearing an orange cassette tape graphic t-shirt.)

Me:  Nice shirt.  I used to have an orange cassette tape, and it played a whole bunch of Sesame Street songs.

(As I'm saying this, the assistant principal walks in.)

Student:  Really, Miss Picardal. . . Sesame Street?  Come on!

Me:   Hey, I was like 5 and it was the 80s!

Assistant Principal:  I use to listen to cassette tapes on my Walkman when I'd go running.

Me:  Nice!  I used to have a black one.

Student:  What's a Walkman?

Other students:  A Walkman?  Yeah, what is that?

(Assistant Principal and I look at each other in disbelief.)

Kids, THIS is a Walkman and it was AWESOME.
