Oh, I know that full well. My kids and I share a passion for computer games that my wife can only watch in disbelief and envy. She also doesn't really like card games which I've been trying to teach to the kids. I haven't turned my daughter on to Magic: The Gathering yet. Mostly because I know my son will want to participate, and at seven, he's still a bit young to follow it all, I think. Mostly all the reading on the cards. I think my daughter will love it and I'll have an excuse to pull all those cards out of the boxes in the closet...!
