Fantastic! I love it! But I wasn't familiar with Topper. DD9 just filled me in! (I find it very odd that my kids are so intrigued by Dilbert's office humor. They've hardly even seen an office!)
BTW, this is the same woman who has gone around telling people that her daughter is a novelist, because she wrote a 30 page story.
Grinity, I don't think I am a perfectionist in any respect. I generally enjoy hearing about the accomplishments of other people's children, and I can understand that what's no big deal for some will be a very big deal for others. It's all in the way things are presented. Everything is given with a "ta dah!" so that it's nearly impossible to have a normal conversation. I'm sure it's an issue of insecurity on her part.
For the record, I'm sorry if I appeared to be bashing junior versions of games. I'm sure they wouldn't keep making them if many people didn't find them entertaining! My family has not found them to be anywhere near as engaging as the regular games, and we've had fun playing BINGO, Candyland, etc. in the early years and then moving directly to adult games. That's just our experience, which I might have presented as part of a normal conversation, had things not been awkward.
