Things your grandchildren have to explain to you

Most of the celebrities on Celebrity Mastermind, Pointless etc.

Sue01 what did you do with the tickets?? ?? I would have loved that prize! ???
Dgd (7) asks me about boy bands like One Direction (yes I know they've split) but its hard to explain I prefer biy bands like Rolling Stones of Pink Floyd ????

These are no good for me I tried it once when out with little DGS but the menu on the screens had none of the vegetarian options and I had to queue anyway ?

I took my GC to a McDonalds which had screens where you could pre-order your meals. In the time it took me to get my glasses out of my handbag my GS had ordered lunch for him and his sister and a coffee for me. He then proceeded to show me the slot to put my card into!

Have a look on YouTube, there are lots of 'tutorials'!
Basically, it's what you'd do after a bath/shower, if using the towel to dry your 'nether regions'

I haven't encountered 'the floss'! Do tell!

My GC explained it as a gesture with left arm outstretched and right arm across eyes. I got the impression that it sugnifies triumph of some kind!
The other one was 'mic drop' to finish a turn on stage but I don't want to break anyone's mic!

I know what 'Dabbing' is, but the craze seems to be dying out now, being replaced by 'the floss'!
However, to me a 'Dab' is a flatfish, much eaten by my late DF.

Harris27 what is a Dab please?

MagicWand I feel better now thank you!!

Oh Grannyanna, I'd had my car over a year before I realised it HAD a sunroof!

I’ve created my own Minecraft world and can link up with my GS and have a virtual tour of his. I’m astonished and in awe of how complicated this world he has created is in comparison to mine. It’s a real eye opener.

I’m the only adult who has shown any interest in this aspect of his virtual world. Have any other grans tried this?

Pokemon was a great mystery to me. I know it encourage people to get out and run or walk but they always had their eyes on their phone chasing after mystery creatures which then changed into other creatures with strange names. The new all theses strange names and had long conversations about what they had and best places to go to catch them Then the craze suddenly stopped with GS.

OldMeg. Had to have a chuckle at the drive thru McDonalds as we’ve just taken our two GDs for their first one tonight. Told them you have to catch it as they throw it through the window and it was just luck if you got someone else order? They believed it. Was such simple fun.

Taking our two GD aged 7 and 6 for the day we went into a little cafe for some lunch.
Firstly the 6yr old announced "I like coming here. I can have the things Mummy won't let me have!"
Horrified and imagining we had given them something Mummy didn't want them to eat I asked what that was - salt and vinegar (on her chips)!
Phew!
A short while later Granddad said "Can you pass the salt?"
A little voice piped up ...
"Pass the salt PLEASE Granddad - manners!"
I could hear my DIL's voice saying that!
Out of the mouth of a child!
Granddad had a lesson in good manners!

I didn't know what a 'dab' was! My preschool room told me!

I’m almost too ashamed to admit this. We’ve had our car for 8 years. Never been able to open the sunroof and I thought it had been welded shut by the previous owner. Today our 13 year old grandson found a button to push and it opened ... with a swish .....

When my DGS was very small he used to say "Good boy, Nanna" when I got something right.

The thing I love most is being taught new activities by my grandchildren. I love the way they look when they explain something to me and how patient they’ve become. I’m always delighted when I get the hang of something quickly & try hard to recall the names of all the characters in their games...

I think that it’s very good for us adults to be patronised by children as it happens so often the other way round. I find it amusing when they praise me if I do well at something, especially as I work so hard at being interested! I dread getting things totally wrong though as they seem so disappointed in me.

Fortnite game also taken over here..what age is it meant for?

This thread is just the funniest ever! Thank you all so much for the hilarious stories - maybe one day I’ll have some to share too, when my DGC are older.

Brilliant Hilly that sounds like the kind of thing I would do! ?

I've been banned from playing Minecraft. My DGS (8) asked me to play a 2-player game with him. I took over his Dad's avatar and started wandering about the 'forest'. After a while it got dark. DGS gave my avatar a flaming torch so I could see where I was going. Unfortunately I set fire to the forest, his house and barbecued a pig and several chickens.
