State Of The Union

We just downloaded a charades-style app that shows your teammates something to act out while you hold the tablet facing them. Larkin was telling us about one of her favorite you-tubers, Rosanna Pansino, who had played a similar game on her show Nerdy Nummies. In her version, you were supposed to hum a song as assigned by your device. Larkin was pleased to report that she would have been able to guess several Beatles songs and "We Will Rock You", and mentioned that one she remembered that she never would have known was the "Star Spangled Banger."

After much hilarity, Emile and I disclosed that the "Star Spangled BANNER" was, in fact, our national anthem and that was why we were so amused that she had no clue what it sounded like. Yeah, not a lot of sports in our lives. The second definition of patriotic in one week was called for.

Eventually, our giggling-choked explanations stopped long enough for Larkin to ask, "was it funny because I didn't know it was our natural anthem or because I got the name wrong?" Aaaaahahahaha!

Clearly there was a gap in her education here. So we paged through our substantial music collection, expecting to find an inspirational rendition to play for her, but all we came up with was Jimi Hendrix's Woodstock performance.

Our jobs here are done.
