I enjoy children because adults lie. I also enjoy setting an expectation of similar nuance of technical understanding as I would for an adult and then being surprised at how many rise to the occasion.

The other day I was talking to a ten year old about the French Revolution and American independence. She didn't have the words to express that she already understood. Instead, she held on hand in the air as if grasping something and the other near her chest as if sorta cradling something. I immediately recognized it as the Status of Liberty. I explained simply that it was their gift to us. She replied, "So we'd remember?"

I don't know how to end this post. Do what the OP says.

for me; its my millennial & genz trumpers.

they just had new daughters and their other daughters have started elementary school so intend to teach them a new word by saying it as often, as frequently, and as loudly as i can: abortion.

the more they exclaim and beg me not to say it front of the children, the more i will do it since i know that my ostracization is not on the table for them.

…and don’t forget to teach them about GNU/Linux!

I love while the there is far less people, we still have the kids table and it's a few 20 somethings, TBF, besides talking about the crazy uncle we talked about MTG and pokemon.

Too late. Their parents got to them first.

Is this one of those !linuxmemes@lemmy.world?

Where's the source for this? It looks like its probably from a Firstdog Onthemoon comic. It would be nice to see the rest of the panels.
