Kids Expose Adult Life: Hilarious Insights from Seventh Graders!

When seventh-grade teacher Shane Frakes asked his students what people in their 40s do for fun, he likely expected some vague ideas, but the kids fired back with a list that’s equal parts hilarious and brutally honest. From playing Wordle to the classic pastime of bingo, their take on adulthood shines a light on the amusing, often unglamorous, side of getting older. It’s like they took the wisdom of a 40-something and combined it with the levity of youth—crafting a comical yet accurate portrayal of what life’s supposed to look like after you hit those big milestones.

The response from many 40-somethings was a mix of laughter and mock offense, as they recognized bits of their lives in the kids’ playful jabs. While millennials might be navigating adulthood’s curveballs differently than previous generations, the list underscores a truth: age is just a number, and fun can come in many forms. As we laugh at the quirks of growing up, maybe it’s time to embrace those knitting circles and bingo nights—it’s all part of the journey!
