I’m so old I remember when people would read the newspaper.

Like, read every sentence in every story of each day’s newspaper, trusting the editor not to print anything that would be too much of a waste of time.

    That smell and sound a newspaper makes when you do the traditional *thwap when you first open it. Not many experiences like it in the world.

    People these days say tablet kids and instagram parents are insufferable… but like, we had to read the back of the newspaper you were hiding behind at breakfast while screaming something about Jimmy Carter being a soft bitch.
