Riding in the Big Red Car

Sam Ruby quotes Susan Campbell, then suggests that a video player in your minivan might be a good investment. Ms. Campbell's article suggests car games. We play car games. Do your children really need to be sedated?

Deena, my wife, who prefers that I refer to her by name, spends her days with the girls. They play all sorts of word games in the car. I only get to play on the weekends. On top of the old standards like "I Spy," they play "Plurals" and "Let's Count Red Cars!" The Big Sister came up with a variation on 20 questions, "Creatures."

She says, "I'm thinking of a creature, who lives under the sea, and whose name begins with 'A.'" And then we ask yes or no questions.
