Where's the screen? (for 5.24.11)

She looks at me, slightly surprised. “Do you even know what it is?” she asks.

“Yup, it’s a typewriter!”

“Well I certainly didn’t expect to sell it to someone so young. You’re gonna look like a candidate for that wheelchair!” With a smile she gestured towards the wheelchair parked in their driveway.

“How much do you want for it?” I inquire.

“For that….hmmm, probably ten dollars.” My face breaks out into a huge smile.

“Ten dollars? I’ll take it!”

“I’m still surprised that a girl your age would know how to use a typewriter! I would guess that most kids would ask, ‘where’s the screen?’”
