I thought this was too funny to keep to myself...I am sure you have your own to add here...
...In my house cleanup, I found a roll of 35 I did not know where it was from. I showed my son this is what we used to take pictures with before digital. We went to a local store and processed the film.
A while later, I was showing my 6 year old the prints, which were from my University days (the prints were a little off-colour but otherwise not bad). Apparently, I carried this roll through two house moves, from freezer to freezer all these years! He was intrigued to see me with hair LOL. I told him this was shot way back, and showed him my NIKON FM I used for it. I explained that you took the picture, then, later on, you got the prints back and saw them, a while after you shot the pics. He didnt say much, the SLR made no discernible impact.
..Sometime later, he had a friend over, and while playing around, his friend noticed the FM, took it off the shelf and proceeded to give it a look-over; when he suggested they take a picture, my son replied: " ...naaah, this is a history camera..."; with a weird look to his face, his friend asked him what he meant.
My son clarified: "...its not like a real camera!...you take the picture, then you wait a long time to see the photos...like when you are old! My dad just showed me pictures from when he was in school!"
