My household has never lacked a conversation about important news. It has become second nature for my parents to constantly ask me, “Have you heard about the new Covid variant?” or “Have you heard about Lil Nas X’s new song?” Sometimes my answer would be yes but often I had no clue what they were talking about. Whether I said yes or no they would still go into great detail about the said topic. My dad would possibly pose a quiz after our conversations such as, “Here is a quiz plus or minus 100,000. What is Lil Naz X’s top hit and with how many streams does it have?” The quizzes given are usually either multiple-choice, plus or minus if it is a number or open-ended questions. Once everyone has their guesses we all go around and say our answers. Once the correct answer is revealed, whoever is the closest to the right answer never wins anything, but we all collaboratively gain new knowledge about the topic.
