A while ago, I showed my nine-year-old the all-time best 90’s educational cartoon on the planet. THE MAGIC SCHOOL BUS. Specifically, the episode “Inside Ralphie”. If you haven’t seen that episode, it’s about a boy named Ralphie who stays home sick from school and his class shrinks in the magic school bus, goes inside a cut on his knee, and watches his immune system fight off the virus. Well, my gen alpha son was HORRIFIED by this episode. And his comments were so funny, I felt like they deserved their own entire post:

JACK: If my entire class showed up at my house when I was sick, that would be the weirdest day of my life.

JACK: EWWWWW-UH!!! WHY?!!! THAT IS DISGUSTING!

JACK: This is what they did in the nineties?

JACK: This is making me sick, bro. Why would they WANT to make a cartoon about this?

JACK: Ow! You got a whole bus in your booboo bro!

JACK: If this happened to me I would not try to keep it from my mom. I would tell my mom right away like MOM MY WHOLE CLASS WENT INSIDE ME PLEASE HELP

JACK: Those are white blood cells… CALLED IT

JACK: Bro, they just made his whole sickness worse with their field trip. Bet.

Kids these days just don’t appreciate the gems we grew up with hahaha.
