Gaming Systems in the 1840s

 On New Year's Eve we watched a movie as a family Tom and Huck by Disney.

Tiberias didn't understand the time frame of the story. Early in the movie Tom says to his aunt Pauley "I will go fetch the switch." I paused the film and asked my children if they knew what Tom was talking about. Now a days children know "the Switch" as being a gaming system. A reward...not a punishment.

Tiberias knew that this story was taking place in the past so he thought "What would be the old fashioned version of The Switch?" He responded to my question with "An NES?" 

HAHA. I had to tell my children that "A switch" use to be a twig for getting whipped in the butt with.
