He would record a 'hot take' on a movie trailer he saw on YouTube, and I would text back a voice note. Now, we have an ongoing documentary series we watch separately but discuss daily. It’s called The Repair Shop . He pretends he hates it, but he always asks when the new season drops." As the 15-year-old son ages, the mobile video will evolve. He will move from gaming clips to stock tips, from memes to short documentaries. His need for mom will not diminish, but the medium will change.
