Survey Says...

I grew up in a house where the VCR was set to record Jeopardy! every night, so my parents could watch it together after my mom finished teaching piano. That was, and still is, life in the Fischer household.

Game shows. I hate them, my mom loves them. After my dad goes to bed in the evenings, my mom copes with insomnia by flipping on GSN (Game Show Network) and watching old episodes of Family Feud, Password and Match Game (her favorite).

Every so often, I get a message from my mom in which she tells me about something that happened on one of the game shows the night before. As much as I hate the shows, I love reading my mom's messages about them. Today, I got one of those messages:

Subject: Jeez

Tonight on the new Family Feud, one of the championship questions (asked of 100 adults) was 'Name a word that most dogs know.'

The lady said "woof".

The scary thing is ... 7 people in the survey said that, too.

(Almost a month without any posts and this is what I have to share? Well, what do you expect when a child is raised with daily exposure to Alex Trebek and is taught to phrase everything in the form of a question?)
