My Oldest, age 14: “Some of these snarky Internet videos are actually informational.”
Me: “Yeah, right. Ha. Ha. Very funny.”
Oldest: “No, really. Like ‘The History of Japan’. It’s hilarious and rude, but I learned about how the US forces invaded Japan under Matthew Perry, and…”
Me: “MATTHEW Perry? Hahahahaha! Chandler Bing invaded Japan? Hahahahaha”
Oldest: “What?”
Me: “I think you meant Commodore Perry.”
Oldest: “Yes, Commodore Matthew Perry.”
Me: “Wait… his name was Matthew?”
Oldest: “Maybe you should watch more Internet videos.”
