Tinder

Mom explains: There's a lot of swiping of things involved, and it's the way young kids are dating these days. Well, they don't say dating, I guess. They say Tindering. The kids are doing the Tinder.

Squad

Mom explains: I remember when you were on the basketball squad, is it like that? Or, wait. You were on the basketball team. Is it an activity you all do together?

Selfies

Selfies

Mom explains: I get what a selfie is — I don't have any desire to take tons of pictures of myself and post them all over Facebook. No one cares.

Kim Kardashian's Book

Mom explains: Oh, it's about #selfies (which we just talked about above). She took a picture of herself every day for a year and turned it into a book of pictures. Which, I guess she didn't need to do. You could just print her Instagram, I'm thinking. Did anyone buy the book?

05
On Fleek

On Fleek

Mom explains: What was that? Can you repeat? OK, spell it out? I don't know, does it mean you're on track? I don't get that one.

Periscope

Mom explains: Isn't that like in a ship when you use a viewfinder? Is it spying on someone? Does it have something to do with your phone? I don't think it's a good idea.

Hunger Games vs. Harry Potter

Hunger Games vs. Harry Potter

Mom explains: I think Harry Potter was first. And what's The Hunger Games about anyway? Don't they have enough food in the future?

#TBT

Mom explains: So I get that's a hashtag thing — I see it sometimes on my Facebook. But what's TBT? I've never seen that. Truth be told? Today's big thing? OH, that's nice! Am I right?
