Ambrosia SW! I spent a lot of my high school days playing their games, hadn't thought about them for years. (Also was a big fan on Freeverse SW's games and will always have some of the insults from them in my head.)
I noticed a similar thing with my own young kids: if someone asked them a question and they weren't answering out of shyness, the the surest way to get them to respond would be to suggest a wrong answer, at which point they couldn't help but correct you (which was generally enough to break the ice).
Ha ha yes this is great.
To get my daughter to snap out of crying at night when she needs to go to bed I name her fluffy toys incorrectly. She immediately forgets her worries to correct me. So much fun.
Given the midterm senate votes (59.3% D, 39.1% R), that can be easily squares with most Democrats blame Trump and most Republicans blame Democrats.
Which brings things back to the substantial advantage that the more rural states give the Republicans in the senate, which would have a good shot and ending the shutdown if they wanted to.
