Conversation with an 11-year-old

(Setting: The Manor House)

11-year-old: Hey, L, what's this?
Me: What?
11YO: What is this thing?
Me: You're kidding. You don't know what THAT is?
11YO: Huh-uh. I've never seen one before. What is it?
Me: Um. That, my dear young pup, is what we fogeys call a 'Record Player'.
11YO: Oh. What does it do?
Me: Uh, boy.

(Fade out of scene as L proceeds to give a demonstration to poor 11-year-old-has-lived-under-a-rock-boy. His first record was Finlandia. Why not.)
