Notebook Generation Gap

Little girl was all excited when her dad told her yesterday night that he had something for her. He always brings her little surprises, you see. So, when little one pestered him what it was...he replied - notebook....but he forgot to take them home.

This morning she asked me to remind him to bring the 'present' home. She was so excited when the papa came back for lunch and immediately asked for it. So when the father gave her the notebooks, her face fell. Papa was surprised why she was crestfallen ....

Then she asked, "Where is the notebook you said?"
The Papa replied, "There, these are the notebooks."
She answered, "But you said the notebooks...the computer notebooks."Then it dawned on us....notebooks to this gen of kids refer to a totally different thing..... now, is this generation gap or not? She thought her papa was going to give her a laptop computer. LOL!!!
