Unfortunately, most of what mum emails me isn't fact checked but it's good for a giggle.
Her recipes she sends me are excellent though.

So now, when the young un's "don't know" how to fold washing, or cook pasta, or how to find a gift, I suggest they 'google it'! I even allow them to do it outside their 'screen time'.
Limited success but I guess it's early days.

Some years ago, a group of teens (who had no experience) were told to boil an egg. This was a demonstration of the internet, not a demonstration of unworldly teems.
They had to research how to boil an egg and put what they learnt from the web into practice.
They couldn't do it properly.
The young un's will still need to be shown, guided, on how life is to be lived.
