#kidlets

I just explained to my 6 year old that sometimes TV shows get their own canon wrong, and the kid is not ok

just realized that all my cousins who have kids (and that's a lot...i have like...30 or so first cousins on my mother's side) have passed on the trait of using the cultural labels we use for older siblings, so my nephews and nieces in the West (and east, but in different countries) are loudly and proudly calling their older sibs with <title><name> and that's just...it's so cute and the greatest thing ever. these are 2nd gen/3rd gen immigrant kids too so it's so pleasing to see that one of the more obvious parts of our culture has survived.
