man, ellie would just be utterly fascinated and enraptured in hearing all of that. and also would probably feel a deep kind of emptiness at knowing she missed out on those things.
being carl has only lived like, about a year into an apocalypse, there's probably also stuff ellie could teach him about surviving? i mean, that's been her whole entire life, even if she was "sheltered" for a lot of it by living in quarantine zones before she and joel went on their long journey across america. she could teach him how to handle weapons he's not familiar with, or how to craft weapons out of homemade stuff.
aaaand they totally need to do just teenager things together. like exploring things, getting into places they're not supposed to be in, telling stupid jokes, having stupid competitions like EATING COMPETITIONS or whatever.
