Martine: “Als die kids bij het Jeugdjournaal al niet meer veilig zijn, waar dan wel?”

Martine: “Ik weet dat we in de swipe generatie zitten, maar dit is echt next level”

Martine: “Wanneer ben je nou de ergste asshole parent?”

Marjolein: “Vond dat zo a-relaxed, ongevraagd ‘goed bedoeld’ advies”

Marjolein: “Kan toch niet goed zijn voor een kinderhuid, de boel dichtsmeren?”

Martine: “7 jaar en komt hier aan met een iPhone 14.. Seriously’
