Danni nodded to show that she understood his view on fast food. She didn't necessarily agree, but she'd been brought up on it. Well, it had been prevalent when she was young, but that wasn't to say that her mother let them have it very often. It was expensive to take everyone to a fast food restaurant and much cheaper to feed the family at home. But that wasn't to say that the food she had at home wasn't similar. They were meals that were easy to prepare and fairly inexpensive.
She shook her head. "It's a fairytale. About a Princess who is put to sleep for a hundred years or something by a wicked fairy who wasn't invited to her blessing day. She pricks her finger on a spindle and goes to sleep until she's awakened by her Prince's true love's kiss." She hoped he would see why she thought it funny. "They don't have many fairytales where the man is the victim." She shrugged.
"That's quite an amount of time to lose." It also told her that he was at least two hundred years old. She tried to think of what he had missed and realized that it was quite a lot. "We should probably go to the library and check some books out on the developments of the last two hundred years. It's likely I'll forget something if we don't."
"An iPod is a small device that plays music. There are small speakers that fit in the ears so that you can listen to it without anyone else really hearing it. They're called headphones. Anyway, they attach to the iPod and you can store thousands and thousands of songs on it. I think I have around ten thousand songs in mine." She used the music to practice her dance routines and she listened to it while she did her homework because it helped her to concentrate. The silence was way more distracting to her than the blast of music.
She knew that there were a lot more things than technology that she needed to go over with him. Music, even, had passed through several different phases and there were so many different genres now. She figured he'd probably like classical more than anything, if he even liked music to begin with.
She nodded at his questions of the telephone. "Yes. It's pretty amazing if you really stop to think about it, but I think most people take this kind of technology for granted these days. Oh yeah. We've had a man on the moon and everything. Colonized?" She began to laugh. "Well, the planets in our solar system are uninhabitable so far. At least by humans. Who knows about any beyond that." She knew that there were aliens, extraterrestrials, on Earth, but she didn't know much about them. In human schools, they didn't teach about those systems and planets.
