Peter: Tell me if it's not ok for me to blow off homework tonight. Paige: Tell me if it's not ok for me to order this sweater on your credit card. Jason: Tell me if it's not ok for me to eat this box of ho-hos before dinner. Roger: Tell me you haven't been wearing headphones all afternoon. Andy: The kids bought me a walkman. Isn't that sweet?
I’m 21, and I used my cassette player (not a Walkman but had the same purpose) alllll the time when I was fairly young. At least until I got a CD player when I was 11 or 12 or something like that. And even then, a lot of the music I liked was on the built-in radio and wasn’t on a CD yet, so I continued using it for years after that. The last time I remember seeing anyone else with a cassette player was about 10 years ago. And that was someone my age, too. Walkmans may have been invented in 1979 (looked it up), but they persisted for quite some time. Let’s all cut everyone some slack. :)
