It my day we used to chisel stone tablets.

You had it easy! Stones are everywhere.

We had to first peel the skins off of onions, garlics, and other plants, and then beat them to a pulp and then bake them into thin sheets.

Then, and only then, could we write on them. And woe to the person who made a mistake!

My grandsons think I’m a real meanie. Every year at Christmas they have to sit down and write a note inside each Christmas card which goes to friends and relatives in other cities. They also have to write thank you notes for their gifts all in cursive.
