I think I've discovered the source of socialization...

...and it's not school. It's cable television. If my kids turn out weird, it won't be for lack of being out in the world - no, it will be because they were watching the wrong stuff on tv. After an afternoon with friends, Big Sister said that she feels left out because she doesn't know what the heck they're playing (pretending to be characters from shows on cable). "How come everyone has cable except for us???!!!" waaaah.
