IKR? My mother started playing an open world video game while convalescing after a serious foot injury, and now she's mutuals with several teenagers trying to survive high school. It's been funny to see the effect she has on their speech patterns? Because their general level of level of comfort with casually talking about suicidal ideation is completely foreign to her. And at the same time, they seem to really appreciate being friends with someone who treats them like they're worth taking seriously and their feelings matter.

I have a good mom. I'm sure a lot of other people are benefiting from being able to talk to her. But sometimes I also just find it really cute how they meet each other partway across generation gaps.
