Every 90s teen had a long forgotten Tamagotchi

In Slumber Realm, it returns in your dreams to guilt you

After looping the song 5 times in a row, Iโ€™m now 100% confident my kids know who to call if thereโ€™s something strange in their neighborhood.

I tell my 5 year old a kid joke every night and 95% of the time she laughs and then says โ€œI donโ€™t get itโ€

Ours is going to die in front of you if you donโ€™t feed it (but then come back later anyway)

Every 90s kid had a long forgotten Tamagotchi desperate for attention in the back of some drawer.

It happened. My daughter came home from kindergarten and started saying โ€œ6 7 6 7 6 7โ€

I vaguely understand this is a thing so I asked her what it means and how she learned

She just kept repeating it as if to say โ€œthis isnโ€™t for you old manโ€ฆโ€
