The Archaeology of a Grandmother's Childhood

Tonight, at my Mum's house, Daniel was looking at a photograph of her, as a small child, sitting on Santa Claus's lap. He shared his speculation with me and her:

"That must have been a very long time ago."

Mom concurred.

Then, when she left the room, Daniel expressed surprise at the intact status of the picture itself, compared against similar archives from ages past:

"Well, this thing should be broken by now - or at least ripped."
