Oh My...Kids Don't Even Know What A Bar Of Soap Is Anymore

[Soccermom]

I ran out of hand soap in my automatic soap dispenser this morning so I grabbed a bar of Ivory soap out of the closet for the kids to use. They looked at me like I had 3 heads!!
What is this Mrs ________? What do you do with it? Are you sure this is soap?
LOL!
Yes kids, it is soap, you put it in your hands and rub it to make bubbles.
Wow Mrs. ________, that is weird!

Oh my.........

:: Had to laugh at this one!
That reminds me, one day my daughter who is 10 asked me what a pay phone was..

:: @ that! We use bar soap, so it's safe to say my own kids know what it is, at least.

We even have a working vhs player.


BAHAHA @ pay phone! HILARITY! My ds saw an OLLLDDD picture I have of Zach Morris (saved by the bell) with his giant cell phone and said "Why is that walky talky so BIG?" LOL!

I grew up using bar soap and I preferred it until DH and I moved in together and he prefers liquid soap. I used a bar of soap the other day and it just felt foreign ::

:: It's funny some of the things some kids haven't seen before. How about a rotary phone? Dd saw one at a garage sale a few years back and asked why you would want to wait that long for the dial to go around.

My kiddos just finished watching all the seasons that were on Netflix or maybe Hulu, I don't remember. Ah, the good ole shows. We have watched the Cosby Show and are now on to Different Strokes.....sorry, off topic

We went house shopping a few years ago, and my two youngest, who were 8 and 9 at the time were fascinated with the rotary phone on the wall, because the receiver was ATTACHED to the phone. ::

My 9 year old wondered what would happen if you had to pee while using the phone??

:: I read the post title and thought "Oh-oh, sounds like someone said a naughty word"


On a serious side, I've never had a bar of soap here either...I wonder if any of my DCK's would know what it is... :confused:

I do have one little one who when washing hands always waves their hands under my paper towel roll...then waits....then repeats....

I always have to remind them the paper towel isn't automatic....you have to get some yourself. ::

Reading the OP got me curious to find out whether my kids know what a bar of soap is for. I only have Zote which I use for laundry but the kids never use that and I have a few bars of Ivory soap that the kids use but all we ever use those for is to put them in the microwave to make soap clouds. They probably don't know either! I'm going to ask them after nap.

We have a few toy cameras, and if I pretend to take a picture by holding it up to my eye - my DCK laugh at me. Most of them have never seen camera without viewing screens. They all hold their cameras at arm's length and say "cheeeeese".

...and then say "let me see"

Sometimes when using my film camera, they just don't understand that I literally can't show them.

Thanks for the chuckles!

Oh my, they already know how to take selfies ::

My DCG asked me what the funny red and green symbols were on my phone ... she was talking about the phone receiver. Most kids have never seen one so I took her into the kitchen to show her my wall mounted corded phone ...
"THAT'S A PHONE?! Why is it sooo big? Why is it tied to the "thing"? You have to stand there the whole time you talk to someone??"
