Oh, the things we have yet to learn

Dearest Dema,
I had prepared the next installment of this blog but the funniest thing happened tonight that I know will bring a smile to your face that I just couldn't resist telling. You taught us something and if only we could have capitalized on it! And it brings up important point number two - you can learn from anyone at anytime - it is important to keep an open mind and listen! Absolutely everyone can bring something to the table and you shouldn't discount anyone.
So to continue with our story tonight, as you know we don't have TV at home, so every time we go on vacation, the TV is a very exciting part of the trip. Well, we are in Seattle now in our motorhome and of course the cable TV is hooked up. G4 was flipping around the stations as I was making dinner and happened across the game show Jeopardy. We love watching it when we can and love to see how many answers we can get right. Anyway, the last daily double (trust me, you'll understand when you watch the show) was a question about videogames. Now, we all groaned because the only games we play are rated E for everyone and are family games - like Wii Sports or MarioKart. While we like them, we do understand that they represent an extremely small portion of hte videogame market. As we heard the category, the kids groaned and said if only Dema were here - he would probably know. We were remembering the first day you were with us that we took you to GameStop and you chose several games that you wanted none of which we had ever heard of. You seemed to know what you were doing so I just went with the flow and bought you what you wanted.
Ok, back to the story....The question asked was, "What version of Call of Duty sold 5.6 million copies in the first 24 hours when released last year?" (Or something like that). We all squealed and shouted, "Black Ops!" We all know this one know since that was one we bought for you and one of your favorite games to play, and we are keeping it safe for you on your return.
So, if we had been competing on Jeopardy, thanks to you - we would have won.
Love,
Bethany, Amanda, G3, and G4
