Remember the computer game "Oregon Trail"? A new edition was recently purchased and loaded on our computer. The repurcussions? A recent conversation in the Crosby car sounded something like this.
Bubba: "Mom, my tummy is really hurting."
Mom: (thinking that this is just a ploy after this same child just discovered his buddy wouldn't be at swimming lessons, which we were on route to.)
"hmmm...sounds like it may be diaharea" which is something that you just don't say to this nine year old. However, it did get a great scrunched face reaction from him!
Sis: (nonchalantly) "Then it must be Scurvy."
Remember that scrunched face coming from an embarrashed nine year old, well it scrunched even more.
The kids have indeed learned lots from the game. Knowledge of 100 year old cures to 100 year old diseases. And if ever the need, we may be able to make a trecerous trek, to just about anywhere, and have a 50 percent chance of making it!
