I think we do know, but what is trending for *us* isnt nessecarily the
same as what my daughter would think of. My daughter can tell you all
the popular games, but probably doesnt know who Bruno Mars is or that

Just like I was at that age, I was more into flash than a longer
conversation in comparison to the older me. Thats a natural progression.
