I'm starting to reconnect with some of my old friends from high school but they have a 5-year-old now and I want to make a good impression but I don't really know how to interact with children. Do I just like ask them what their favorite Disney movie is or something?

Lol yes to the "very serious conversation" bit, my kid would geta stern look at times and I always thought it was because for them, I was on "teacher" mode, very serious.
