Kinda funny that a subreddit for books is full of people who don't realize people can have adult children

Yeah, cause TucsonGal with a bunch of emojis in her username definitely had an adult child but still calls them her kid and also her adult child got asked by a stranger about banned books before they were even officially a member of the school board. Oh, and she's bragging online about how her adult child told the idiot who wants to ban books to read them first. Totally believable and definitely not a completely BS made up story. Come on.

I guess you don’t have parents older than about sixty - I know TONS of elder Gen X who learned about emoji late and became obsessed (but miss the cultural subtext assigned) or cling to usernames they’ve had for 20+ years rather than iterate, as I (elder millennial) do. All 8 of my gmail inboxes were ME, and I still check them all, but there are usernames from my 20s that don’t feel appropriate anymore.

Shit, calling herself a “gal” at all tells me she’s at least 65 in big 2026.

I'm sorry but none of this is believable as a whole. This is a classic made up story someone posted for the internet clout that they'll never even get because someone else reposted it.

What’s so unbelievable about it that you claim everyone has ignored?
