My kids love playing online games like Roblox and AmongUs with their buddies. Since the pandemic started, online gaming has been the biggest key to socializing with their friends. They’d stay on screen 24 hours if they could, but they need to eat, do their schoolwork, and exercise. When I call them, they often complain “Mom, bad time to be AFK!” I asked what does AFK stand for? They told me ” Away from the keyboard…DUH!” They are teaching me the vocabulary of the new generation, and now I feel kind of…hip! After all, I have to be a hip mom whom they can talk to. So I made a t-shirt, to prove I can speak their language.
