I sort of enjoy it when my daughter watches a YouTube video about something I knew about in the past and tries to talk to me about it as if it’s a new discovery. “Yes, I’ve heard of Oingo Boingo before.”
My nephew tried to introduce me to Minecraft. It was cute. I tried to tell him I knew about it but he insisted it was this new thing that I couldn’t possibly have known about.
I love when their eyes light up after doing that. You just KNOW they’re about to tell you absolutely everything that they’ve learned about it, in as much detail as possible haha.
A few years back, my cousin learned about star wars. He became obsessed with it, and he figured that adults were too old to know about it. My cousin was APPALLED when I jokingly asked him who Star War’s version of Santa Claus was. Poor lil’ dude almost blew a gasket over that one.
I was teaching swim lessons to some four year olds when one of them asked me if I played minecraft. I told him I do, and he got so excited to tell me all about it.
These kids were good enough that I had them doing laps, but this kid was so excited that he decided that telling me about minecraft was much more important than breathing or staying on top of the water. His mom asked me not to talk about minecraft after that

“Is this Roblox?”
Hell I’m 31 and still do this with my own father.
“They’re making memes about this show Columbo… ever hear of it?”
And my dad’s like “I love Columbo!”
Just one more thing…
I just tell my cousins I’ve never heard of the things they talk about. Minecraft? Never heard of it. Is it one of those Korean animays you kids like?

Lol
I have a 4 year old but he has been shielded from all video games so far.
Hoping he will enjoy playing outside for a little longer tbh. Also we’re doing Legos now.
Animaymays are like so cool and hip
