Need to learn the language of the younger generation....

Ok, this is the time for children to dream about what they are wanting for Christmas.

My Connor (6)---my very smart Connor--says he wants a DS.

Imagine my surprise!

In our line of work, DS is sometimes laughingly referred to as Director of Sanitation because of all the messes we get called to....but I have never known DS to mean anything other than this connectional work of District Superintendency.

So, when Connor said he wanted a DS, I said, "Oh, honey, you already HAVE one!"

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"Well, I'm a DS, I said proudly.
"No, Grammy. DS is a game."

"A game? What do you mean?"
Connor--tired of my not understanding him and leaving the room-- "I guess Mom and Dad will have to explain it to you."

I guess they will.

What I am doing certainly does not feel like a game.
