Sunday night after church, I walked out to my car and noticed something up against the windshield. I looked at it, saw what it was, and was unsure who put it there and why. It was a record of a group from the college I went to, only several years before I attended there. I brought it home to my husband, thinking someone had told him to listen to it. Knowing there are a few folks who went to the same school, he narrowed down who had given this to us.
As I was showing it to him, my son looked at it and said, “Oooohhh, I know what this is. It’s a record! I’ve never seen one before! It’s so BIG!”
My husband and I looked at each other and did have to laugh. My son asked his sister if she knew what it was. She said “yeah, a record disc.”
My son is anxious to listen to it. I think we may have my sister’s stereo in the attic, and it has a record player on it. The kids can’t get over the size of the record and how now days that much info can be stored in a space almost the size of the hole in the middle of the record!

It’s interesting that your son knew what it was but had never seen one. Technology really does move fast, doesn’t it?
