In a recent episode of “The Kardashians,” the dynamic between Kim Kardashian and her daughter North West took center stage, showcasing the generational gap in understanding modern slang.
North, who is nearly 11, was less than impressed with her mother’s attempts to connect with her by using teen vernacular.
The cringe-worthy moment unfolded as Kim called North to discuss a story, highlighting just how out-of-touch she feels with today’s lingo.
Kim candidly shared her children’s views on her parenting style, admitting they often see her as an embarrassing figure.
She recounted a humorous incident involving her misuse of the term “jit,” which she mistakenly defined as referring to a big butt, a term she picked up from TikTok.
With a laugh, Kim reflected on how disheartening it can be to feel disconnected from the language of youth.
In a bid to rally her kids, she had tried to use the term in a sentence: “Guys, we’ve jit to go.” The response from her children was swift and scathing, with them labeling her as “so embarrassing.”
In a bid to understand her daughter’s perspective, Kim reached out to North directly.
When asked why she considers her mom to be cringe, North didn’t hold back: “First, you’re so cringey because you’re saying those words.” With a teasing tone, Kim responded, but the conversation quickly ended when North decided to hang up the phone, leaving Kim laughing at the exchange.
Earlier in the episode, Kim opened up about her own birthday celebrations, revealing that she spent the day watching YouTube unboxing videos and attending a FIFA tournament with her kids.
She expressed her fatigue, questioning if a mother truly wants to visit Color Me Mine on her special day.
“Whose birthday is it?” she exclaimed to her mom, Kris Jenner, feeling somewhat tortured by the experience.
It was a relatable moment for many parents who often put their children’s needs ahead of their own.
North has recently been in the spotlight for her performance as young Simba in the stage version of “The Lion King” at the Hollywood Bowl, showcasing her budding talent.
However, she also found herself in hot water after inadvertently spilling some family secrets regarding Kim’s opinions on Kendall Jenner’s Met Gala outfit.
This revelation added another layer of complexity to their mother-daughter relationship.
In a candid moment captured on camera, Kim confronted North about her honesty, specifically regarding her comments to Kendall.
After the 2023 Met Gala, Kim had relaxed at home when North revealed she had told Kendall that their mother disliked her sparkling black bodysuit and dramatic platform boots.
This led to a family discussion about loyalty and the importance of having each other’s backs.
Kendall, who was initially torn between two outfit choices for the gala, learned from North that Kim had preferred the look she ultimately decided against wearing.
This awkward truth-telling prompted Kim to emphasize the distinction between honesty and loyalty, reminding North that while being truthful is important, supporting family members is equally crucial.
As the episode progressed, North’s candidness became a focal point, illustrating the fine line children walk when sharing their thoughts about family dynamics.
Kim made it clear that while honesty is valued, there are consequences when one speaks negatively about others, especially family.
“When you talk st about someone, you can’t go back,” she advised North, reinforcing the idea that words have weight.
This episode not only highlighted the challenges of parenting in the digital age but also the evolving nature of communication between generations.
