I love how something from three years ago is "SOOO OLD!" for a teenager. That's the entire time many of them have been conscious of the larger world.

[ShawnMilo]

No lie, you should do one of these monthly as a public service to parents. But in the future, have Lola write them so they'll be more accurate. 😎

[annmoore]

You know, when I was a teen, I swore to myself that I would not be one of those boring adults who can’t keep up with the cool slang… and here I am… an adult… and I genuinely have no idea what these kids are saying! 😂

[CathyMiller]

Nice touch to have the teen experts critique your performance! Love it.

[trinaq]

This was insanely accurate, complete with all the yeets and teas. Your kids were undeniably cringing, I'm sure! 😂🤣

[lollybeeart]

When you’re 22 but you need the translator because you have no clue what’s going on 🤣

[Neil-wpnb]

I have never felt both so old and THANKFUL to be so old at the same time.

[chrishyde]

It's like the movie Airplane, "Does anyone speak Jive?" Grandma: "I speak Jive!"

[Cirruna]

I love the neutral voice translating each thing like a foreign language video. Also super helpful bc it really is another language.

[renees]

That was hilarious, and I honestly needed the voiceovers to "clue me in" on what the meaning was! Lol

[LynnsLaunderette]

Meanwhile, I’m over here with my note to a friend, folded into a triangle…. Ready to flick it across the room. Lol.

[joannebuttner]

I can't believe how grown up your kids are now. Your eldest has so much poise

[blugreen]

As an elder millennial, this was immensely helpful. 😂

[bobbigirl]

You should do one for each generation, so the kids can hear the slang others have used. could be fun!

[uyxftmh]

Wow your teenage daughter is proud of you! You just won parent of the year. 🎉🎉🎉

At a family dinner, my younger cousin told me “This soup slaps!” and it took a moment to ascertain that he was, in fact, giving me a compliment🧐 Nothing like new slang to make you feel old (and more classy than the younger kids at the same time😂)

Lola has transformed. As a high school teacher, I’m always amazed at the difference between the girls when they’re freshmen and and when they hit their junior year.

[JoyCojan]

I like the reactions from the kids at the end too 😂

[sarah-phillips]

As a joke I bought slang flash cards back in 2004 (including skrilla!!). One of these children said “that’s the year I was born.” Yes. Thank you for reminding me I could be your mother. Your kids’ reactions were hilarious. No cap.

[deedeewilliamson]

It’s been a while since we’ve seen Lola. She is so beautiful! Grown up! Love this video and PC still has the best laugh 😂
