she beat me at trivia
seriously. how sad is that. I will say that I did know the answers to most of her questions, but you dont actually get points for that. oh, and she argued with me about Galileo Galilae (sp?), and she was right. I wasnt.
I have two things to say:
first – I have no idea how she knows half the stuff she knows.
second – there is nothing more shaming then having your not even 7 year old look at you pityingly, with this “look” in their eyes, and asking you if you need some bonus points so as to give you a chance to even up the score…..
*big big big sigh*

Wow, that’s impressive (and if it were me I would be annoyed as hell, lol)! So far T isn’t much into trivia, but I think we’re getting there. He recently realized that he can read non-fiction books and if he doesn’t make me read them to him he can regale me with all the random facts that he’s learned. That’s fun- hearing 10000 times a day “Mommy, did you know…..?”.

LOL…That’s pretty good, and I think I would be having a hard time swallowing my pride and living by the rules I insist she live by “Good Game *Smile* “.
Savanna isn’t so much into trivia either, but lately has been showing way too much interest in grown up conversations, the news and other things I just can’t (or not ready to) answer. ex “What is the sun made of?” “Why did the cop kill that lady?” “If they’ve arrested her 3 times, why don’t they just keep her in jail?” GAH… Go play with barbies… LOL
