    Default A boy's wants

    I spotted this on Twitter today. I can't find a direct source for it but the claim is it's from 1913:

    It's very different today, if you can't plug it in or power it up with batteries they don't really want to know.
    One of my daughters goes into meltdown if she is out of internet range. All five of my children are into
    Today's and tomorrows technology, though I have managed to get three of them interested in Guitar.
    Whether I can introduce them to the Mandolin bug we will have to see.

    If he had the magic lantern he could get all of the rest just by rubbing the lamp, and could get many more things also...That's what I would wish for...

    I don't have a tame rat, but I did work for one once.
