Black and White

The other day I enjoyed some time with the older girls while the little ones were in preschool. We had gone to the bakery for a little treat before picking the little devils up. While we were walking back to the preschool started a conversation that turned pretty funny. It went down like this:

Lily (7): Mommy, what kind of shoes did you wear back in the old days?

Me: I don't know...tennis shoes, flip flops..

Lily: YOU had flip flops?

Emma (9): Yeah but they were in black and white..like everything else...

Me: What? no..there was color..

Lily: You mean houses had color? Clothes had color?

I think Emma got confused looking at old pictures with my mom that because the pictures were black and white that meant the world was black and white...Oh..is it funny to hear their thoughts.
