Madeline: just like every other kid

We do not own video games. We never have. The last time I played a video game was in 9th grade when my friend and I used to play Mario Bros. on Nintendo. That was in 1990. Jason hasn't really had time for video games in the past 16 years, with all the studying he has been busy with. Therefore, our children have not been exposed to any video games of any kind.

Well, you would never know. Madeline has taken to video games like a fish to water. She got a video game for Christmas that plugs directly into the TV and you would have thought that she was born playing the darn thing. The Honakers brought their Wii and Madeline started rocking out to Rock Band without delay. I believe these things must be pre-programmed into children. Madeline is no exception. Here she is as lead singer in The DeWitt Five.
