    My kid is in middle school, and the current thing is calling out to “chat” out loud if something interesting happens.

    “Chat, is this real?”

    “Chat, did you see that?”

    “Chat, do you know the answer?”

    Etc.

    Some kids are already “terminally online”.

      I say my kid is speaking Meme. It sounds a bit nicer than terminally online. But then again she’s 2 and that’s her third language. I’m just not so sure I can call it English when she mostly says It Is Wednesday My Dudes, Yeah Boiiii or It’s the Selcuk Turks.

      Stop being an old person. Just because things are different doesnt mean it’s worse. It’s the same in a different way. I had pogs and power rangers. Kids now have memes and tiktok. Whatever.

            Watch out! Your kids are reading horror comics

            Don’t bother talking to them and reading a comic with them to see what it’s about or why your child likes it. Just get mad!

            Problem solved
