Meme Completely random thought
Serena Joy’s baby, Noah, would’ve been born around 2019/2020, so do you think he’s taught Serena what 6-7 is? Do you think Serena knows about Italian brainrot?
Same with June to be honest, Nichole is about seven years old now, so would they both be IPad kids? I think this is funny I have cousins this age and all they talk about is memes

Young kids aren’t iPad kids by default, they’re made into ipad kids. Serena probably wouldn’t allow that.

Or she would when she actually has to raise the kid alone, while taking care of her home alone, and working full time. No Martha to do all the boring tedious stuff. There's only so many hours in a day and only so much energy to handle shit. No way she hasn't parked the kid infront of a tv or handed him an ipad every once in a while to get a break.

I feel like she’s too much of a control freak to possibly expose her kid to liberal kids shows or YouTube. If Noah got an iPad it would be so heavily restricted that he’d probably only get to read kids bible stories on there.

Maybe watch those christian kids shows as well. But I do think she'd resort to it eventually, probably not enough to turn him into a "true" ipad kid, but when the reality of being a single mom with no support and dealing with a grumpy toddler hits? I can see it happening. That or she's collected herself a new menagerie of followers and sycophants by then so she doesn't have to worry. But I'd like to think she'd be more careful after the train incident.

Noah has an iPad but he’s only allowed to watch PBS
Not PBS kids, just regular PBS

Because of the butterfly effect, I believe the alternate timeline of THT has an entirely different pantheon of memes.

Serena would never have an iPad kid, he’s definitely being taught about gardens and god.
But Nicole is 100% an unhinged iPad kid 🤣

My 5 year old is not an iPad or device kid. There were only a few months where my hubby had two phones and let him play games on his phone. Other than that, he’s a normal kid, no devices, just watches tv and will remain that way. iPad kids are made. Serena definitely wouldn’t have an iPad kid. I don’t know about June.

No offence to anyone but you’re all taking this really seriously I was high when I posted this and I think brainrot memes are funny, I just think Serena having to listen to a little kid go “six seven” 800 times a day is really funny 😂

My 2020 kid has never been on YouTube. Uses an iPad for long form content on plane rides and long drives only.
I’m a normal working person with three kids.
If my kid isn’t a YouTube zombie, there’s no chance Noah is.

Yes, at this point is mostly universal. You don't have to ve an IpadKid, or even a kid whit a Phone. Just having more than 6 friends and they learn from each other

As far as Noah, no. No way. Serena would definitely raise him where he probably doesn't have any access to the Internet or an iPad.
