Oh, kids these days, raised in the digital age...
Apparently the idea of literal mail is unheard of in the era of email and texting. Yesterday, I retrieved this literal mail out of our literal mailbox and, upon flipping through envelopes, discovered two postcards that had just arrived from Nana and Gramps. These postcards were sent last month from Scotland, and one was addressed to Julia and one to Madeleine. I put each girl's postcard on her bed for her to find after school.
Madeleine came across hers last night and brought it out to the dining room to read while she ate dessert.
MADELEINE: (to herself) They went to a castle? (loudly) This is so cool! Daddy! Did you know your parents went to a CASTLE? *TODAY*!?!
ETHAN: They- (stopping himself) Yeah, that's really cool, huh?
Snail mail is not a thing of the past yet, but clearly comprehension of it must be! How cool is it that Nana and Gramps were able to magically get that postcard from Scotland to our mailbox the VERY DAY they visited that castle??
