Sometimes they just absolutely nailed it.
Who tf names their baby Mite, is it short for Mitael?
Mite is slang for something very small. It’s the name of a very very tiny insect. So it is probably being used here as a term of endearment.
It’s a bit of English slang that fell out of use decades back. It’s an endearing way if refering to a small child. It fits perfectly with the age of the comic.
They didn’t realize that new generation would never straight up answer a call anyway
I wonder if my friends would appreciate me calling their kids mites? I’m gonna test it out.
I bet your friends will think it’s the bees knees. 23 skidoo!
