Sometimes when I'm sick of Sesame Street or The Backyardigans, I look for adult-friendly, child-friendly shows to watch. One of my favorites, reminiscent of my own childhood, is The Price is Right. We've watched it fairly regularly for months. Patrick hasn't shown much interest in it before, but I liked knowing he would subconsciously learn that he should always spay and neuter his pets.
You may recall a recent fascination with numbers, though. Bob Barker's show has an abundance of numbers, so Patrick has started paying more and more attention, probably only because they keep saying various numbers. Today it went to a new level, though. More than once, it sounded like he was calling out bids to the contestants. I wish I could understand what he was saying because I have a sneaking suspicion it was a good bid, but I can't prove it.
Poor kid. I don't have the heart to tell him we're just watching re-runs now and he'll never get his own chance to win a car from Bob.

You should video some of these moments. (Especially when you learn what it is that he is saying!) He will get a kick out of this in the future!
Good story!
We need to start trying harder to understand Patrick, he may be telling us something very important that could get us all rich!!
He could win one from Drew though, and for his generation that would be just as good!
