1. Your baby is born in the hospital and the nurse asks, “What’s the baby’s handle?”
2. The sign on the restaurant door says: “No shirt, no shoes, no gadgets, no service.”
3. The new name for Hide and Seek is “Foursquare.”
4. The phrase “He’s all thumbs” is considered a huge compliment for a fast texter.
5. Every house with kids proudly displays their avatars—not their school pictures—on the mantel.
