You probably think of Monopoly as that excruciating board game you have to play with your family, unless your mom likes to make her nephews cry and it gets banned from the house (thanks, Mom!). It turns out it's not the Parker Bros.' fault that the game is so mind-numbingly dull -- it's yours. You've been playing it wrong all these years.
Remember Tamagotchi? The handheld digital pet, which you raised from an egg to an adult creature, was all the rage in the '90s.
Now it's back, as an app.
What a scream! If your cat wasn't already competitive when it comes to chasing down a dangling thread from your skirt or chasing a mouse out of the house ... imagine your cat playing video games on your iPad!!
Like humans, I'm thinking not every cat is techno-savvy. However, it looks like after just one half enthusiastic round of playing the fishing game, Tiffany the cat, is a winner!
I don't know if it's something in the water, or if I'm just at the point in my life where my friends are all starting to have babies, but I'm invited to an insane amount of baby showers this summer (maybe this is a result of the insane amount of weddings I attended last year?). When the invites started rolling in, I got nervous. Shower games are, by far, some of my least favorite things in the world.
"What kind of candy bar is melted inside of the diaper?!?" I don't wanna guess. I think it's gross.
"Guess how many safety pins are in this jar!" Why?
"How big is mom's belly?" Well, that just seems like a rude question to ask in the first place.
Maybe I have a general dislike for games? I don't know. But, I decided to do some hunting for some fun, new and different baby shower games. Our friends at iVillage.com came to the rescue!
"Kids these days"... Normally we say that in a relatively negative way, but it turns out that some kids are doing really amazing things with their spare time!
Take 14 year-old Robert Nay from Spanish Fork, Utah. This 8th grader created a game that is now the most downloaded free app in all of iTunes!
