Otherwise when my cousins and me were in school we used same books for years. I am the oldest and there is a gap of 13 years btw me and my youngest cousin but we had same syllabus and books etc. But yes movie music etc choices were a bit diff. But not with other cousins who were 5or 6 yrs younger it was almost same choices and lingo as well. Now in India present kids use diff lingo altogether 😆 But I'm aware of most of it so i can converse with my nieces and nephews easily even with a twenty yrs gap😆
Ah that's so lovely! I think I'm better connected with my older cousins but like literally most of them don't live nearby anymore so I'm kind of left behind. I can talk to kids just fine but not able to connect. Sometimes I'm just too "grown up" in a sense so when someone doesn't understand me, I give up.
