Bringing Back Things From the Past!

Earlier this week, Mason and I finished reading the fifth Harry Potter book. We finally had time to sit down and watch the movie tonight...which in my opinion was no where near as good as the book! Anyway, the boys wanted popcorn and I didn't have any microwave popcorn...so I got out the popcorn popper!

I proceeded to tell the boys that when I was a little girl, there was no such thing as microwave popcorn and that we had to use a popcorn popper if we wanted to have popcorn! I told them about how my dad used to pop us some every time we watched a movie and I even showed them the scar on my knee I got from touching the popper when I was on the counter when I was a little girl! (I even told them about how my dad put butter on the burn...and how the butter melted!)

Of course, they were absolutely amazed! They couldn't figure out how such a contraption was going to work, let alone give them popcorn! Their faces were priceless as the kernels started to pop and as the popcorn fell into the bowl!

At the end, Mason said, "I love bringing things back from the past!" Yes, I'm ancient, I know!!!
