We're reading Anne Of Green Gables to the girls. (It was only when we were getting it out of the library that I realized this meant I was going to have to get through reading Matthew's death out loud...)
The girls are trying to get their heads around how long ago the story took place. Like, we have to explain that no, there were no TVs, and no, there were no cars.
But then it becomes: "Mom, did you use horses and buggies when you were little?" "Did you use quills?"
So I'm trying to explain that yes, I'm old, but I'm not L.M. Montgomery old.
K attempted to put the relative age of the story into perspective:
"It's so old, cool wasn't even invented yet!"
