Luddites

We've been without a television set for over seven years. (We rely heavily on Hulu and Drudge Report to keep us in touch with reality.)

We have no Wii, no iPad, and no fancy entertainment system. (We played Angry Birds once, and we didn't really see what all the fuss is about.)

We've had the same old cell phones for years. They made phone calls, and did little else, and we loved them. So when we were told we had to upgrade, we weren't exactly thrilled.

The new ones aren't exactly smart phones (we both have no desire to receive email on our phones, although I'll admit the Find A Starbucks App seems pretty appealing) but they do have much cooler games than the technologically obsolete phones we traded in.

Caleb, in particular, totally has a knack for the touch-screen driving game, turning the phone and leaning into the curves like a pro. It's kind of impressive to see a kid who has never played a video game display such raw talent.

And now, anytime Justin pulls his phone from his pocket, Caleb begs for a chance to play the car game, and can hardly put it down when it's time for his sister to have a turn.

I dread the day this kid gets his hand on a real video game.
