The AO3 Tag of the Day is: However shall we occupy our time while we await rescue?
whatever it is it better not be too corny
One of these days, I’m going to compile a list of all you people who’ve ever responded to my posts with stupid puns. Then I’m going to hunt down everyone on the list, tie you all up in an abandoned warehouse, and make you listen to an audiobook of one of those 101 Hilarious Jokes books. You know, the ones where all the jokes are just dumb puns and don’t even make you crack a smile? And just when you think it’s over, I’ll start the audiobook over again and walk out. I’ll let you stay in that warehouse forever, listening to the same stupid puns over and over and over, for the rest of your pathetic little lives. When they find your bodies, the words “because seven ate nine” will be carved into your very flesh.

I now see why I struggled with showing my interests to my parents when I was a kid.
I’m listening to my cousin going on about Fortnite. The kid adores the game and is talking about the battle pass and he how hopes to get it later on today.
My mum just flatly says she doesn’t know what that means and has told him to hurry up as they go through the door, not giving my cousin any wiggle room to explain what it means. Fortnite is special to him, he wants to talk about it, he wants to engage but how can he when at that moment, the adult he’s talking to shuts him down?
Why can’t some people just take a damn minute to listen, REALLY listen to what kids are saying? He’ll now sit in the car in complete silence because his aunt isn’t interested in what he likes.
I’m not saying everyone has to be a fountain of knowledge for things like that. Hell, you don’t have to like what another person’s into but for the love of god, at least TRY and give it a go in understanding why it’s so important to that person.
“Oooh, that sounds neat! Tell me about it?” Is one of the best things you can say to a kid. (Or an author.) It matters less that you understand it than it does that they are allowed- are *encouraged*- to explain it
And also, if you’re truly lost:

“I’m not sure what that is, can you explain it to me?”

Kids LOVE getting to tell an adult something the adult doesn’t know. It makes them feel important because hey, we’re grownups! We know everything! Wait, we don’t? Wow! Let me tell you!

part of it is that adults have too much pride to ask a kid what things mean.

shoutout to my coworker for thinking that “illuminati” and “alumnae” meant the same thing and absolutely destroying everyone in the room when he casually dropped the sentence “i get a discount there because i’m an illuminati” into the conversation
