Mom, you're old school!

On three separate occasions yesterday I heard the term "old school."

The cashier at the grocery store - telling me about a conversation she had with a young person about computers.  "What would you do if the computers stopped working?", he asked.

She replied,  "I know how to go old school.  I don't need computers."

I added dried cherries to my daughter's snack mix.  I added a note to clarify that they were not raisins.

After school she asked me why I wrote a note when I could have just sent her a text.

She said, "You pack my lunch in a paper bag and you write notes."

"Mom,  you're old school!"

Finally,  at a meeting I attended that evening someone called out "That's old school."  

Someone wanted to copy some information with a pen and paper when someone suggested,

"Just take a picture of it."

I am not ashamed to say that I like being "old school."

(It must be the artist in me.)

If you share my enthusiasm and want to practice being old school here are two places to check out.
