Uncanny

That's it, I'm not playing this game any more, it's just too eerie. We played five games of twenty questions and it won four times (it got snail, washing-up liquid, television arial and credit card but it didn't get foie gras). I'm going to use it with my students too: a good exercise for understanding questions Try it for yourself in English, French, Spanish or German at 20Q.net

Having more self restraint that you do, Lesley, I only played three times. It won twice, and I won once. It got hummingbird and tomato but didn't get blog. In the game's defense, though, it guessed "website" but I didn't think that was close enough.

Wow, this is even eerier Nancy because when I played in French I was thinking of the word colibri which means hummingbird!

Confinement

Being confined indoors most of the day, just the four of us, is reminding me of the days when my children were wee and most of our weekends ...
