I must be getting old...

This afternoon at school, as I was introducing my Social Studies lesson to my students, I participated in the following dialogue:

Me: "Class, open your Social Studies book to page 214.  Now, I know it's been a long day and we've been working really hard, so today I'm going to let you read along to the tape instead of reading it on your own."

Student: (timidly raising her hand with a perplexed look on her face) "Uh, Mrs. Lowry?  How is TAPE going to help us read our Social Studies book?"

Me: "I have tapes that go along with our books so you can just listen."

Student: "What is a TAPE?  Is it like a CD or something?"

WOW.  Guess it's time to finally part with the Depeche Mode collection I've been saving since 7th grade - any takers?
