Are you down with the kids?

I didn't guess, got 32%, above average for my age.
My ds did this last week and was hopeless!

I guessed on one and came out with a score of 26% above average it says for my age,I did think I was a more up to date nana than this.

28% slightly above average. But still pretty awful. I'll test my DiL on this later.

I failed miserably - 4%

I am not sure whether it is a good thing to know all that stuff though. Shows you are not comfortable in your niche (whatever it is)

I got 16%. Possibly those of us with teenage grandchildren (or children) might do better!

I scored nil points. My excuse is that my DDs are now in their 40s and oldest DGC is only 6 so none of these is a subject for conversation. Now IF they had asked about Moshi Monsters, Hello Kitty or anything on Cbeebies, I might have been Mastermind.

4% Well I always knew I was a square. I am in good company with Elegran though.

Together we are a cube.

Pleased to say I got 12% - but I only actually knew one answer, the rest were lucky guesses!

I was (and am proud to announce this) RUBBISH !!

Think you're trendy? Huh! Answer these and see if you know what your Gran knows!!

Think I got 100% *gracesmum!

Elegran that does not sound geometrically correct. Two squares together would surely make a rectangle.

No, not 100%, I didn't know any of the acronyms. Did you make them up?

Ha ha!! Would I do that?

TNAT That nice Alan Titchmarsh
CUATGC See you at the garden centre
TFMN - I think I might have made that up and have forgotten already what I had in mind! Suggestions gratefully received!
WRMRG Where are my reading glasses??

If we spell it wrong as well as being geometrically wrong, we could be TOO SQUARE.

Brilliant, gracesmum! I got full marks, or near enough. On the other one, even with teenage GC, I failed completely. Still, I know which I preferred!

0% on the kids' one, and not only utterly unperturbed by that, but rather glad that stuff isn't under my radar.

28%, only because I was reading an article about One Direction last night. Why did I just write that? Oh and I saw Helen Skelton on TV this morning, it is her last day on Blue Peter today. I was 62 last birthday. How things change. I can't imagine my nanna reading about the Beatles when she was 62.

I thought my 32% was going to be a low score.......guess I am 'down with the kids' but I do have savvy teenage gds.

I have a savvy almost teenage daughter but I have to keep up the level of eye-rolling tolerance (or not) of my ignorance of the world that I provoke in her or I wouldn't be doing my duty as a parent

bags believe me, I am a figure of fun to my dgds as well as my dd and ds!

I quite enjoy it, Lona. I'm sure it's good for her self esteem for me to be an ignoramus on teenage issues.

No use trying to play it down, Lona!

You are officially Gransnet's 'Down with the Kids' Star

Only to be expected, after all. I'm so old!
