"Hello, mommy! Welcome to the 21st century!" My middle son snapped at me the other day when he looked at my face after hearing the reading of his letter to the Magi . Without being able to do anything to remedy it, I, who go around the world jumping from puddle to puddle like a girl trapped in the body of a mother in her forties, felt like I frowned at Miss Rottenmeier (the 'same thing' that happens to me when I hear reggaeton).

Beyond the absolutely anecdotal detail of the iPhone 11 Pro that appeared as head number one in the ranking of his most desired (comparable to that dance with Bruce Springsteen I've been begging His Majesties of the East since he was 17 years old) and the keyboard electronic to Nacho Cano that occupied the second place, what marked me the rictus was the choice of his star board games this year. "Dear Baltasar, I would love you to bring me the one in which you exploit grains or, if it can't be, the one with the farting jumpsuit or the one with the plumber who's pants are lowered if you hang the tools on his belt", He recounted in his candid childish voice.

"Really? But what about fun in something as disgusting as busting pimples?" I asked. To which my oldest daughter responded. "You are already ... If everything seems wrong to you. I wish you were like those rolled 'youtubers' mothers who open toys with their children and have a great time. They do 'slime' without complaining that everything gets lost And they know how to make the braids 'boxers' ... PER-FEC-TAS! "

Touched and sunk. Indeed, I do not know how to do the 'boxers'. Neither perfect nor imperfect. Nor herringbone braids (or cupcakes). I don't understand the grace of 'slime' and the loud and impossibly happy voices of the 'carameluchis families' that populate YouTube, Tik Tok or their ...

At this point in the game, I no longer aspire for my children to spend their evenings together (without arguing, or pulling their hairs), feeding their intellect with Legos or 1,000-piece puzzles (those happy years flew a long time ago although I am so delighted I hope they come back ... someday). But from there to contemplate them competing to see who squeezes with more mastery the foreign pimples (even if they are plastic) there is a great stretch.

WHAT DOES THE PSYCHOLOGY SAY OF ALL THIS?

Am I getting out of date? Will having grown up in the era of Famosa's dolls heading to the portal have left me sequels for a lifetime? Is it just me who can't make sense of all this?

"As the years go by, we find an exponential increase in games. As there is for the mobile for didactic purposes, there are others that are limited to ridicule and take as fun aspects banal, without transmitting any values " explained Joselín Miranda Gómez, Health psychologist at the Center for Clinical Psychology (Madrid).

From a more psychological point of view, the game of acne "can serve to normalize those aesthetic complexes through what we all go through." However, "if they are used or interpreted as an open door to laugh at the defects of others , making fun of them and our fun, their use is questionable and can even be cruel, " warns the psychologist.

As an alternative to this type of entertainment, Miranda recalls that there are "others that enhance skills and imagination, such as Dixit. Also these others: Concept, Emötiö, Ikonikus, Cruel World, Quorum or The creative game."

It's a relief. Already, if that, I ask another day about the 'boxers', the 'slime' and 'the carameluchis'.
