Time for an upgrade?



When quizzed about the game they were playing, Argy and Bargy told me they were speaking to each other on Skype.

Do you think I should tell them that if they get the latest version of the Skype software, they won't need to draw each other's picture on an Etch-a-Sketch?

    Excellent!

    I think that is just fabulous. I'm pretty sure their etcha-sketch portraits are better than the skype picture anyway.

    Cheers,

    Hilarious! We've taken to entertaining Jack by getting him to watch Skype on his dad's computer while I wave at him on my computer... on the other side of the room.

    CLASSICO!

    Then again, nothing surprises me regarding Argy and Bargy antic-ry.

    That's great. The things our kids know nowadays. Charlotte was trying to tell me about a book the other day that we bought ages ago and she couldn't find it, so she googled the title so I could look at the cover to refresh my memory.

    So sweet. I love it when kids come up with this stuff. Skype is amazing when loved ones are far away. (Or in the same room too I guess!)

    Hahahaa! I can tell that they are used to talking to their Dad overseas this way! My boys did that for the first time today- their Dad is away for a couple of weeks. I don't know how you do this as often as you do... your partner is away a bit for work, isn't he?
