Kids explain fads, fashions, trends or toys they think older people might not understand.
Flappy Bird. This happens to be a single name that no adult, nor parent; and most likely few individuals over the age of fifteen would begin to comprehend. The whimsical competition of taps, diving into mint green tubes and in between allows listening to the flapping of your bird’s wings as they catch wind before plummeting to the ground. Clear blue skies and plump ferns whip in the background creating diversions upon each glace. Adolescents simply enjoy this frustrating game for the purpose of defeating their own, as well as other high scores. Young children obtain interest in this particular app because they still contain the competitive trait that most children have. Adults on the other hand, do not show as much interest in this self competition nature; but why not? Possibly, because of the pointless efforts advancing you nowhere or the shocking addiction that comes with the download. Either way, adults just do not understand it the same as the average child, and may not ever.

A trend that many grown-ups might not understand is selfies. I myself barely understand the point of selfies but I have theories that may unlock the meaning of them. My first theory is that people have become either more vain or have bigger egos. The more they take selfies the more they seem to want to say look how pretty I am. My next theory is that people who have social media is are seeing lots of other people and think that they have to post selfies too. Another theory is that many people think that to be accepted into social groups or society is that they have to look a certain way and with selfies you can easily make yourself look different from real life. Selfies are the teenagers’ way of putting themselves out there and also showing world that they think they are beautiful. My last theory is that taking selfies is a way of showing their friends what they’re doing at all times.

One fad that grown-ups might not understanding is wearing shorts in the winter. To be sure, grown ups don’t think we should wear shorts in the winter. They think you would be cold. They think that your legs will not be protected. If you got stuck outside, you will be cold. However, I like to wear shirts. I like to wear shorts because I won’t get as hot. I also, like to wear shorts so I can wear high socks called Nike Elites. In conclusion, I like to wear shorts in all the seasons.

I think what don’t parents get is technology. Parents and grandparents get confused when they try to use an ipad or iphone. They try and then they ask you to help them.
I think the hardest thong to do on an ipad or iphone is facetime. So when they call someone with an iphone they see their ear.
The call them back and do the same thing again. That’s what I think is confusing to parents and grandparents. What’s yours?

One thing I know my parents, and definitely my grandparents wouldn’t understand, The Cheese Touch. The Cheese Touch all started with the first Diary of a Wimpy Kid book got out by Jeff Kinney. So, in the book, Greg Heffley has a terrible life in middle school. And on the only basketball court with a net, there is a piece of rotting cheese.* If you touch the cheese, you have it forever. Until you give it to the next person.
To give The Cheese Touch to someone else, you touch them. That is why it’s called the Cheese Touch. The only to block it is to cross your fingers.
*If you want to learn more, read the book.

Two odd things that older people don’t get and kids do is Snapchat and Instagram. I guess they don’t get the pictures and conversations where everyone can see it. They think why not gust text. It is very private.
Parents don’t get the point of it. But kids do. Kids think they are good apps to communicate with friends. But that’s not what parents think.
Parents want to protect their kids. So parents think that Instagram and Snapchat are dangerous. Parents think that they should gust text for their own safety.
Kids can get really inappropriate when they are on Instagram and Snapchat. For example, if girls are waring belly shirts, or with language. Parents what their kids to be appropriate with people. That is two things that parents think are odd.

Many kids are into Angry Birds, but most adults don’t get the object of the game. Let alone what the game is.
Angry Birds is about some birds who have special powers. Pigs steal the egg of the birds and trap them. You have to help the birds get their eggs back.
The object of the fame is to smash all of the pigs. If you tap on the bird after you launch it, it will unleash something awesome. Sometimes you can use the mighty eagle to beat difficult levels. There are always new upgrades and levels to defeat. It’s a fun game.

A toy like a Rip Stick is something that a lot of parents can’t do, but kids can. This is how it works… it has two wheels and they are called caster wheels. They spin around all the way. You have to balance on them and twist your legs. It’s harder than a skateboard because you have to balance on two wheels.

A game that my parents do not understand is Five Nights at Freddy’s. It’s a game that you try and stop animatronics with a power source of 2AA batteries,2 doors,2 lights for each door but only can keep one light on,and an IPad to check cameras. It scares you with jump scares that scares you even if you are expecting it. There are 4 of the robots, Chica,Bonnie,Foxy, and Freddy. They are making a second version which has 11 robots which is more than double. I try to explain it as best as I can, but they still don’t get it.

My grandparents do not understand electronics. They have no clue what they are doing.Almost every weekend hey call my mom or dad to tell them what went wrong.The funny thing is that they don’t even want I phones.They just want Droids. I think an I phone would be to complicated for them.

No matter how old you are, your family members will never understand the “new” style. My friends believe that our style is “swag”. Or as I like to call it, “Look as athletic as possible, while being semi-decent at sports.” One clothing item that really stuck out to my family members is the Nike Elite sock. They are basketball socks that go up to the calf. They are fairly expensive. To be honest, I don’t even understand the style. I gave up on comprehending what is going on with fashion, so I wear things that my friends would approve of. Anyways, I visited my grandparents’ house a couple weeks back for a family gathering. I, as usual, was wearing Nike Elite socks. I had a different pair for everyday of the week and more. My uncle pulled me aside. He ended up giving me a lecture of why not to wear those socks. One point that he kept repeating was that when he was my age, he would have gotten beaten up for wearing them.

Minecraft is a game that I think most parents or grandparents don’t get it because there’s monsters and you have to make a house and survive the night. The monsters will get you if you don’t build a house. I think kids like this game because it’s addicting. It’s addicting because you build creations and you can build houses, statues, and more stuff. Even though this game is fun you shouldn’t go on it too much. You will get headaches and not play outside or exercise a lot.

A game that a grown up wouldn’t understand is the Pokemon card game. It’s confusing until you get it explained to you at least five times once you understand it you will battle someone. There is a thing called a gym battle. A gym battle is when you pick someone to go first. There is another battle called a trainer battle. It happens when someone has the lowest health. If someone has the same health as the opponent you flip a coin. You win by attacking the opponent’s health, lowering it to zero.

The iPad is so popular these days, but I don’t think so for next year.
It seemed odd to your grandparents and parents, and they said,”How do
you turn it on?” They definitely do not get it because they haven’t
had this for a long time, and I’ve had it for nine years. They did not
know how to turn it off or play a game or go on the internet. I know
how to do all these things.

One thing my parents don’t understand is a game called Minecraft. They don’t understand how to build houses, spawn animals, and they don’t even understand how to fight zombies. Minecraft is very simple to me. My parents don’t even get why there is hard mode. In the game they don’t even know why I put on armor at night. Ok people, they don’t understand anything about Minecraft.

My mom will not understand the toy, Flutter Bye Fairy. First, the Flutter Bye Fairy is a toy that will fly if you put it on the launcher and put your hand under the Flutter Bye Fairy. Next, the light will turn red when it has to charge. Then, Mom will not understand how it flies. She will think it’s magical. That is why my mom will not understand this awesome toy.

Rainbow loom was very popular last year and almost everyone had it except me. I didn’t get the big “woup” about Rainbow loom. Sure it was cool to make your own bracelets but I’m a guy so I didn’t like it.

In the 80’s, everyone wore short-shorts and had some kind of crazy hair. When the 80’s passed, that style went out of style, but now there is a company called Chubbies that makes short-shorts for men. It is an online company that my brothers love. My parents think they are crazy because my brothers wear Chubbies on cold days too, although my dad used to do that in the 80’s.

I always grandma! I never understand why she doesn’t get it.

“What are you watching?” My Mom always asks. I love to watch Regular Show. My Mom doesn’t like it. Its weird because it is called regular show and it’s not regular at all. My friend Alexis always watches Regular Show to. She likes it alot. Regular Show is very popular. It is on Cartoon Network. Cartoon Network has alot of weird shows. You should try watching It. I hope you like it too

What in the world are you watching?! My parents don’t understand Sponge Bob Square Pants. Don’t ask me why because I understand it. It’s pretty cool. I think they don’t understand it because Patrick is dumb and Sponge Bob is a weird frycook in the show. I even think it’s weird…sometimes.

Most moms and dads don’t get Minecraft. They think that all you do is walk around doing and making stuff. But really you can learn how to survive, and make things you didn’t know hot to make. You can get really smart just playing a video game. Well, in some ways, any way. Hey, remember how you always wanted a pet, and your parents say no well now you can get one. On Minecraft, you can get a dog, a cat, a hamster, a dolphin, a sloth, a bear and an ENDER dragon. Oh, and you have to down load a hamster, dolphin, sloth, bear. Ya you can download sandwiches, TVs and lots of others. Well you can learn more on the game, so buy it.

One toy that people would not understand is Popin Cookin.
It is a box of sugar packets and you mix it with water and you then mold it into cakes or other types of food. Parents would notunderstand the toy because my mom says “Why do you want it any way you can make food at home for free!”

Mom! But it’s my favorite T.V. Show! My favorite T.V. show is Rabbit Invasion. It’s when rabbits do funny shows. One of them eats a donut that was in the garbage bin. That rabbit turned into a zombie rabbit! My little brothers got scared. But, the rabbit didn’t look scared. Only his face changed. It is green now and he can’t walk fast. Rabbit Invasion is odd to my Grandparents and my parents. But to us it is not odd at all.

“What are you watching?” I’m watching 21 Jump Street. It’s my favorite movie. It’s about cops and bad guys. “I don’t get it.” “Get what.” “The movie.” “It’s a kid and a teenager movie.” It’s a great move.

I think what some parents and almost all the kids have are electronics. Almost all the kids have iPhones, iPods and iPads and all parents are saying “What is this Russian device?”
None of my family’s adults understand technology. My Mom, My Aunt, My Dad, My Uncle and don’t even get me started on my Grandma.
I also think parents do not understand electronic toys. They do not get toys like gogo’s, video games, and other things like that.
I also think that our world is getting dumber and dumber. I don’t mean to be mean or any thing but it’s the truth.
I think at least maybe NJ should cut down on electronics only a little.

A fad that older grown ups wouldn’t understand would be silly bandz. They wouldn’t understand it because it really only appeals to youth and adults don’t have a reason to like or wear them. Parents would probably say, “ What’s so hip about them, they are just rubber bands with shapes.” But we think differently, if someone in the school wears them, then everybody in the school will want to wear them. We just follow what’s “in and what’s “out.” This is why adults wouldn’t understand the fad that is silly bands.

I personally think that my parents or grandparents wouldn’t understand any electronic games or anything related. I don’t think they would understand because when they were kids they didn’t have as sophisticated technology and maybe not even any! Another reason grown ups and especially older people wouldn’t be as enthusiastic about electronic games is because they might not be able to see or understand it as well as us kids. However there are bigger screens in the world so they might be able to see and understand the games better on the bigger screen. For example: my Grandfather uses his large screen for flight simulator. That’s why I think older and young grown ups would embrace technology!

There is this cool game that I think parents and grandparents find odd, and are very confused by it. Grownups think it is just a screen full of blocks, but kids see it as a world full of imagination. This game is called MineCraft, and it lets you create fantasy worlds, and grown ups think its just an odd game without meaning. I think it is a world full of fun fictional characters.

Skylanders is a video game that takes place in the skylands, which are floating islands in the sky. Kaos is the main villain who wants to destroy the skylanders. There are many skylanders that fight Kaos and the other villains to save the skylands. The players unlock the skylander’s special powers by placing the figures on the portal of power. The skylanders figures come to life in the game to fight the battles. There are 4 skylander adventure games. Spyro’s Adventure was the first game, where the battles began. The Giants are the skylanders that were vanished to earth a long time ago. The Giants have their own portal of power. The Swap Force skylanders are able to swap powers. The player can swap their bodies and put them on the portal to fight the villains. Trap Team is the newest skylanders game that allows the players to trap the villains and send them back to fight for their team. Skylanders can join forces in each of the skylander games.

Minecraft is a game in today’s video game world. It is a game about breaking and placing blocks to build anything you can imagine! This game is very popular among young kids that love to build structures while protecting themselves from monsters. The game was created by Markus “Notch” Persson. This game can be played in your computer, phone, playstation, xbox I, and WiiU! Kids are obsessed with Minecraft but some adults love it too!

I think grown-ups won’t understand Minecraft. Minecraft is made up of blocks and there is lots of animals and I love animals. I build towns and houses with the blocks. I don’t think grown-ups would understand how children love to build things out of blocks. I love minecraft even though it is made of blocks. I think it is very fun.

A game that is popular and complicated is Minecraft. My mom does not understand this game. It is a game where you can build anything you can imagine. At night, monsters spawn anywhere you can imagine. Lucky people don’t care if they find a village! When you make a world, it will ask you to type in a seed. If you type in the word “Steve,” all lower case, you will probably spawn (appear) in a village. Zombies can break down your doors. Other monsters, including spiders, creepers and endermen can harm you. Creepers are creatures that blow up if you get close to them! Endermen will teleport if you come near them and will steal your supplies. Minecraft is very fun! No wonder my mom doesn’t understand!

Minecraft is one of the most popular games today. You can play Minecraft on four devices. You can play it on iPod, iPad, PC and Xbox. I play on my iPod but my brother plays on the PC. I only know about the iPod version. Minecraft is a simple game. All you have to do is mine, craft and place blocks. The part most growups might not understand is the crafting part. On the iPod it’s simple but on the PC and Xbox it is very hard. On the iPod and iPad you just have to click one button but on PC and Xbox it is much more than that. You hve to remember where to place everything in the right place or you won’t get the item.

My Grandparents will not understand Madden 25 because they never played a video game. Madden 25 is a football video game. I am new to Madden 25. If my Grandpa tried to play, he would lose the game. My Grandparents will never understand the controls on the Xbox one. One time I tried to teach them how to play Madden 25 and they broke my Xbox one. When it comes to video games with my Grandparents, they are terrible at it.

My Fad is Clash of Clans. I don’t understand why parents and grandparents don’t get it. It’s such an awesome game, so stupendous. All my friends play it. This is how you play, you collect elixer, gold, and trophies also you battle, defend, and go up in rank from nothing to champion league. If you win the battle you get gold, elixer, and trophies. What a great game it is.

A toy people don’t understand is Rainbow Loom cause children love it and others don’t get it or understand it. Kids more likely girls love Rainbow Loom I do it cause I’m a girl and some boys don’t like it. Rainbow Loom is like a learning item for me. Girls make bracelets, rings, sandals, phone cases and this is a little hard for me but it’s covers for glasses. I don’t know how to do it just yet.
I think that Rainbow Loom is cool if you do it every day. I watch videos on how to make a phone case; it came out perfect. Look on YouTube for videos about Rainbow Loom. It’s cool, try it!
Some kids in my class do rainbow Loom. Rainbow Loom is fun for children most ages 7+ up. Adults make videos on bracelets and other thinks out of rubber bands. Thank you! Try it!

My Mom and Dad do not even know anything about technology. When my Mom got an iPhone, my Mom needed my brothers to help her set it up.
My brother James helps my Mom so much. My Dad got an iPhone. He did not know how to set it up. So my brother James had to help also with computers.
My parents still do not know how to set it up once again me and my brothers had to help.

A few fads or fashions that parents don’t get are the Pokemon. They think it’s a waste of money. Honestly, I agree, and to me, it doesn’t even make sense. They also think those “American Girl Dolls” are a waste of $70 for one doll, but don’t forget the clothes.
Second, what is the deal with those computer/iPad games you plan them all the time, but I disagree we only play for a few minutes a day. I don’t know if your parents say this, but my Mom says I zone out, but I don’t. Well, that’s all I’ve got to say. Bye.

One thing that parents don’t get is Rainbow Loom. I don’t even get it. So many people wear them to school. They even have the monkey chains. Our school had to make a rule not to wear them. People traded them all the time.
At one point, my little brother started making them! He wore them to school, and he got in trouble. I have never made one in my whole life, and I hope I never do! My big brother who was a junior in high school even wore them.
Parents and me probably don’t get it because they were so new. We never saw them before. I guess people liked them because other people wore them. Some people just like new things.

Most grownups don’t know about technology or Pokemon or other toys. My mom does not know what Samsun Galaxy Tab 3 is, and I have one. Since a grown-ups don’t have an idea, what the latest model is a iPhone 6, my Mom is upgrading to one and she’s probably not going to know what to do with it.
When my tablet is sitting around, and m Mom is telling me to pit it away, she says: Put your “thing” away. The only people who know tec. It probably a tech person like Mr. Miller.
