Too Cool for Old School

I’m back, on an IBM ThinkPad which is surprisingly comfortable to use. I need to share this conversation I overheard between my boys yesterday morning, while they were packing their lunches for school:

Nathan: I’m glad Mom bought us Pizza Lunchables; ham and cheese is so old school.

Ryan: Nathan, you’re only in the second grade. How can you call something “old school” when you haven’t even been to school that much?

Nathan: Ham and cheese was like the first Lunchable ever. It’s so lame, it’s old school.

Ryan: You’re crazy! Ham and cheese is a CLASSIC.

    *giggle* how stinkin’ cute – give the boys a big smooch from their Auntie :) We’ll be up there in March to visit, not sure what weekend yet though so if there’s one that’s better for you guys than another – or Dad (I’ll call him to find out) let us know.

    Love ya!

    Oddly, I’m having the same level of discussions as second graders. Hmm.

  3. Fraulein N says:

    Heee. They’re too funny.

  4. Suebob says:

    Those are some funny kids.

  5. That is hilarious. They must think PB&J is ancient!

  6. RWA says:

    Kids talking about “old school” and “classics.”

    That’s too much.

  7. Lanna says:

    LOL! Oh my…

  8. Jennifer says:

    Oh, that is so CUTE and funny, too! :)

  9. Did you explain that “old school” is a favorable description, as is “classic”?Perhaps you could suggest “retro” as a synonym as well.

    “Lame” on the other hand…an appropriate synonym there would be “passe” or “out of style”.

    Anyway, they crack me up! I look forward to overhearing such conversations!!

  10. That is too funny! I love it. It is like the other day my five year old little princess called cousin a “cute little kid”! I just about burst from holding back laughter.
