Since they were born in the 21st century, K & D have no idea that all of the technological things they now take for granted didn't exist several years ago. Cell phones; iPods; DVD's; all these things lead kids to see the world through a kind of techno-lens. When I was a kid, we attributed things we couldn't understand to "magic," but now is there anything at all that can't be conceivably explained through some electronic device? Apparently not, according to D:
On Sunday we were in the park, and we saw a girl flying a kite. D said, "She's flying that kite and it doesn't even have a string." I explained that the kite did have a string, but that we couldn't see it because we were too far away. "How could the girl fly it if it didn't have a string?" I asked him.
He answered, "Maybe she has a remote."
