Modern classrooms don't have blackboards
I was cleaning the kitchen when the blackboard eraser caught the attention of my young granddaughter. She asked what it was, and I said it's called an eraser.
"What do you use that for?" she asked.
"You use this to erase the writing on the blackboard," I replied.
"What is a blackboard?" she countered.
I said that is the board where your teacher writes when you are in a classroom in school.
"Grandma, we don't have blackboard," she said. "We only have green board!"
