Fixing a cassette tape with a pencil
Your grandkid doesn’t even know what a cassette tape is, not to mention how you could fix one using a pencil… We used to listen to our favorite music on cassette tapes, but now not many of us still have cassette tapes in our households. If you do have, please don’t throw it away. Show it to your grandchildren and explain to them how it works.
Also, grab a pencil and demonstrate to them why a wooden pencil was a cassette tape’s best friend. Every 1980s kid knew how to stab the pencil into a cassette hole to tight the tape to fix the tape. However, kids these days are used to using Alexa.
