Some kids are already "terminally online".

I say my kid is speaking Meme. It sounds a bit nicer than terminally online. But then again she's 2 and that's her third language. I'm just not so sure I can call it English when she mostly says It Is Wednesday My Dudes, Yeah Boiiii or It's the Selcuk Turks.

I honestly don't mind it, as my kid and I also bond and joke over quoting homestarrunner & other online media.

I think it's only an issue if the kids can't "turn it off" or have no other interests or hobbies other than doing things online.

Plus, it's middle school. These kids don't really have themselves figured out yet, so constantly parroting popular memes can gain them some acceptance from their peers.

Oh crap by the time our daughter is in middle school these will be boomer memes
