Arr, ye scurvy dog of a teacher be askin' these lads and lasses in California's middle school what to bestow upon a landlubber in their thirties for the merry festivities! Lo and behold, the replies be spreadin' like wildfire across the seven seas!
A TikTok video of a middle school teacher in Southern California asking his students what to buy someone in their 30s for the holidays has gone viral. The video shows the students' responses, which were written on sticky notes. Some of the innocent suggestions included measuring cups and signs that say "bless this home." However, there were also some responses that threw shade at the Millennial generation. One student suggested gifting a bottle of wine and hip implants, while another said a Panera gift card because people in their 30s love soup. There were also suggestions of wrinkle creams, a heated blanket for their hurting muscles, and a coffee mug that says "Don't talk to me until I've had my coffee" because they are coffee-obsessed Millennials. The video has gained significant attention, with nearly 360,000 likes and 22,000 comments. Some users agreed with the students' suggestions, claiming to love soup and candles themselves. The teacher, known as Mr. Frakes and going by 7thgradechronicles on social media, stated that he is not phased by the students' responses. He finds them humorous and humbling, which is why he continues to love his job as a 7th-grade teacher.
