Default Kids these days...

We have an Etch-a-Sketch in the back of our car that we bought for our kids a few years back.

Today I was driving my daughters and one of their friends (age 13 and 14) to an event somewhere and the friend picks up the Etch-a-Sketch and asks, "How do you turn this on?"

Really! Kids today. When we were young we knew that you turned on with acid. What is the world coming to?
