    Unfortunately, too many of us have grandmas that share the kind of memes that don’t exactly compare to macaroni stick figures.

    1990s: “Grandma, look! It’s you made out of macaroni!”

    2020s: “Grandson, look. This is proof that Obama is a space alien preparing the planet for enslavement.”

    Ah yes, my macaroni beach and palm tree was a call to arms against the moral decline of western civilization.

    When I was a kid my grandfather would share farside comics with me. Now I show my grandfather farside “memes”.

    It’s a bit depressing though isn’t it? Like lying to be nice?

    Nothing in this world is simple but I’d prefer encouragement even if it isn’t that sugarcoated.

    It’s just a meme for sure, may everyone have a nice day, and soon, a nice weekend 💖

      It’s sincere.

      In the first instance the parent is encouraging their kid to refine their motor skills and improve their dexterity.

      In the second instance the grown up kid is welcoming their parent into today’s lucky 10,000.
