My kid used to complain that I win at Mario Kart too much. I told him "I've been playing it since like 1993, it would be really weird if I wasn't better at it than you." His eyebrows shot through the roof at that

I have had similar conversation with my kid and her friends; not complaining about my winning, just their inability to beat me. I think at the time I’d literally been playing twice as long as they’d been alive.
Yep. I always plan to do more skill transfer and help them get to my level, but it's hard to pick moments where talking won't distract them. I have a hard time splitting attention, and they have a hard time focusing at all, so 😑
