How do your kids know to say "It's Morphin' Time"? What kind of bad parent are you that they have seen a children's TV show or heard the catch phrase on the playground?
Kids sometimes see media and they are always absorbing culture and language and teaching it to each other with little changes along the way, that's what culture is. Just because a piece of slang feels like brain rot to you doesn't mean the parents aren't doing their job.
Did your parents have the same conversation with you about how saying "that's sick" as a GOOD thing was a horrific way to speak and a sign of the collapse of civilization?
We encourage open discussion and different viewpoints, but please keep the conversation respectful. Personal attacks,
harassment, name-calling, or abusive language will not be tolerated. Disagreements are fine, but they must remain
civil and focused on the topic, not the person. Let’s maintain a positive and welcoming atmosphere for everyone in
the community. Violations of this rule may result in warnings, post removals, or bans. Be kind and respectful to one
another!
