What does it mean?
Klaus, Lada, and Grace are sitting in one of the countless living rooms one day when Klaus starts hysterically laughing out of nowhere. Grace is confused. They're not doing anything, no one said anything humorous, what are they laughing at? Lada immediately perks up when they start laughing, "Can I see?" Klaus shows their phone to her and she starts laughing as well. She doesn't have as big of a reaction as Klaus, but she giggles.
Grace cocks her head, "What's so funny?" Klaus wipes a tear from his eye, "It's just a meme."
Grace goes through all her files and finds nothing under the name 'meme.' "What's that?" Klaus gasps, "You don't know?"
Lada lightly slaps their arm, "Why would she?" Klaus thinks for a second, then shrugs. Grace patiently awaits an answer. Klaus shows her what they were laughing at.
Grace looks it over. It's a picture of a pink ball and a sword that says, "Kirby has found your sin unforgivable." Grace is very confused. "What does it mean?" Klaus shrugs, "You just show it to someone when they say something cursed." He explains it like it's something everyone knows.
That explanation only confuses her more. She searches her files for the word 'cursed.' She knows about curses, she remembers them from the stories she would tell the children when they were younger. She knows they're not real, so she doesn't know what Klaus means by saying something cursed. She doesn't find anything in the context Klaus gave. "I'm afraid I don't understand. What do you mean cursed?"
Lada thinks for a moment, "It basically means something that shouldn't be shared because it's just... weird." Grace nods, "May I have examples." Klaus claps their hands, "I have plenty." Lada's face reddens, "Don't scar her."
Klaus shows Grace a picture of a man in a red and blue costume eating something that looks to be an onion ring. She's not familiar with the character the man in the picture it dressed up as, she'll have to research it later. It looks like a superhero of sorts. She feels strange. She processed the picture, she knows what's in it, yet she still has no clue what she's looking at. She makes sure to save that to research it later.
"You didn't think that was funny at all?" Klaus asks hopefully. Lada slaps their arm again, "Did she look like she though it was funny?" Klaus looks down and shakes their head. Grace shakes her head apologetically, "I was confused more than everything." Klaus nods, "I think you have to be a certain age to laugh at memes."
"A lot of times I laugh at them just cause it's ironic." Lada admits. Klaus nods and agrees with her, "Especially with those surreal memes."
"One of these days we'll go through a whole class thing." Klaus offers. Grace is apprehensive. On one hand, She has no clue what she just saw. Those 'memes' confused her, and honestly kind of scared her. But on the other hand, she'd like to learn what she just saw so she's not scared anymore. It takes her 15.8 seconds to decide, "I'd like that." She smiles. She'll take any chance she can to spend time with her children.
