Reading A Series of Unfortunate Events to my kid. We just started The Carnivorous Carnival.
Kid: Wait, mom I think Olaf might have been friends with the Baudelaire’s parents but he just decided to be bad, because this VFD thing keeps coming up and that tattoo.
Also
Kid: Mom, hold on. What’s a phone booth?
Me: 😳 It’s a phone in a little clear closet (you’ve seen it at the science center). People didn’t have cell phones so if you needed to make a call you’d put a quarter in and make your call.
Kid: Wow a quarter! That’s so cheap. But how would you know the person’s number?
Me: Well, you’d memorize some numbers or you’d have it on a scrap of paper in your pocket or there were phone books with people’s numbers listed.
Kid: I can’t believe it.
