Relatively Speaking

I was sitting at the teacher's desk this morning, checking attendance, when I overheard a sixth grader say, "Back in my day? We used to have Minecraft on this game site."

"When was that?" I asked him.

"Oh!" he scoffed, "Fourth grade."

"That long ago?" I replied.

He didn't detect any irony, and I was glad because I didn't mean to make him feel bad.

"Yep," he said and then shook his head sadly. "Things have really changed since then."
