Smarter Than the Jeopardy Contestants

We've been watching Jeopardy religiously for a few weeks now, all three of us. It's a good way to make the shift from evening to night time (when bed happens). I've always loved Jeopardy so it's nice to get back into watching it, as well as to have a regular time marker to keep us on track with the routine.

Tonight there was a 'kiddy lit' category. The last clue in the category was something about Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar. None of the contestants even tried to guess at it, but I got excited and said, "Jacob, you know this one!" And he came through with the answer. It was a very cool moment, especially because minutes earlier he'd been crying that he never wins at Candy Land.

We also like to guess the numbers when they have the lotto drawing during the commercial break. I'm so happy that we finally have something to get all of us motivated to keep to a routine, and that it's something we can all share.
