Sami Discovers CDs

Today Sami was blown away by what a CD was. I had to explain to her it played music. I ordered Brandi Carlile's CD through amazon and popped into the dusty CD player in my car. The first song played and Sami was impressed. When song number two started she was totally surprised. "It has more than one song?!" I realized then that she truly had no idea what a CD was. I was a little bummed by this. I can't believe my child was part of the next generation that wasn't going to know the joy of unwrapping a brand new CD. I took out the booklet and showed her the artwork. I told her it even had the lyrics so she can sing along. Then she totally blew me away when she asked: "Mami, can we add this album to my playlist...oh, wait never mind we can't." Sami thought that because it was a CD the music could not be added to her iPad. I had to explain that I got most of my music through my CD collection. I explained we put the disc in the computer and it'll save it to the iTunes library. 

Sami seemed satisfied with my answers and I felt happy knowing that I introduced my child to what CDs were. My massive collection is stored away somewhere safe at the moment (under my bed) because we were trying to make more room for the kids. I get that CDs are becoming obsolete but I refuse to let go I guess. I still get the joy of fighting with the damn CD wrapper when I'm trying to pry it open.

Next lesson shall be my records. One step at a time, one step at a time . . .
