Having three #kids staying overnight with mine (so four in total) is ... an adventure.
Them all being #genAlpha is ... taxing.

Weird lights in the #sky, they wanna go on a #UFO hunt.
Explain them that it's searchlights from a #solstice #festival, fruitless. Despite obvious visual evidence in the sky.
They ask the lie-to-me-machine (#AI). "It's a meteor, several in fact!" Searchlights, clearly.
"The AI says it's a #rocket launch."
You wouldn't see a rocket launched by the #Americans here in #Austria. They insist that #Google (#Gemini) says it'd be visible....

The gods gave them eyes and a brain, but no, AI knows better...

Happy solstice though.

Claudius is sus

Zhen (13) and I have been reading a kid-friendly retelling of Hamlet. I found this great find at our local public library!

I thought reading Hamlet For Kids (by Lois Burdett) together would be a fun way to introduce Zhen to Shakespeare without overwhelming her with heavy Elizabethan English.

Today, we read the part of the drama when Hamlet sees his father’s ghost and the ghost tells him Claudius killed Hamlet’s father.

“What does prophetic soul mean?” Zhen asked after reading the passage.

I broke it down for her by asking her to think of what a prophet means and what they do.

I explained, “So, this is basically Hamlet’s poetic way of saying, ‘I knew it! I knew it was my Uncle Claudius!’ Hamlet was suspicious of his uncle, and now the ghost has confirmed those suspicions.”

“Ohhhh, so Claudius is sus!” Zhen exclaimed. 🤣

We both started laughing, and I said, “Well…yeah! I guess King Claudius is sus!”

Such a Gen Alpha way to explain Shakespeare! Haha 😄😎 But it made me happy Zhen made the connection!

“I kept going back afterward because it was interesting to see everyone in my community … and how seriously they took voting,” Martinez said. “It kind of inspired me to come back, and for my last year that I worked there, I voted too.”

Nastolatki ze starych filmów/seriali są jak: Używanie mózgu? To nie cool! Daj mi coś, może się zabiję lub kogoś, a potem się mną przejmuj!

Jeśli nastolatki kiedyś byli tacy głupi, to przy nich jebani zoomerzy i gen alfa wyglądają jak jebany naukowiec
