Marbles lost.....Marbles recovered

So my seven year old Grandson asks me "Grandad can you explain Rugby to me?"
No problem says I. I played rugby for 4 years at Accrington Grammar School.
I explain the positions and the playing rules and then he asks me about scoring.
Easy says I. 3 Points for a Try and 2 Points for the kick conversion after.
Then we watch a YouTube video and the first thing they say is that you score 5 Points for a Try and 2 Points for the Conversion.
My first thought was "Oh Lord is this what Alzheimers feels like?".
Then since my Grandson thought I was "A bit confused" I did a Google search where I discovered that they changed the Rugby scoring in 1970 after I had left England.
So Good News, Bad News.
The Good news is that I am NOT losing my marbles.
The Bad News is that all my scoring records at Accrington Grammar School are now invalid and my Grandson still thinks I am a bit confused.
And so it goes....
