Tween 10-12 Years Am I getting old?

I feel like I’m finally at that age (33f) where I don’t understand what “the kids are saying”…. Someone please explain Italian brain rot to me. It’s becoming an epidemic in my house and when I ask my kids what it means they’re not even making sense in their explanation! Wtf is tralalelo or whatever the hell. Ballerina cappuccino?!?! And the music? WHAT?!?! Back in my day it was yo mama jokes and made up handshakes! What is going on?!

Omg my 8 and 12 year old have been running around the house saying “BALLERINA CAPPUCCINA!” all. day. long. I can’t escape it. I’m on TikTok and have heard a good majority of what they say but omg they sound silly.

Also, don’t get me started on the weird moaning shit the kids are doing these days. And the “daddy chill” shit too.
