How we started the News

On my last trip to England, I had a very loud and intersting cabbie on the way to Auntie's house from Heathrow.  He told me that his family does "news" at night instead of asking the kids about their day.  I decided to try it.  And it WORKS!  With OCD Max in the house, we always have to go in the same order.  But everyone shares at least one "news story" about their day.  Meggie's news tends to be "I am at your house" or "I am eating my dinner" but she's got the idea that she gets to say something.  And all the kids are eager to share a story about their day.
