I think I'm going to have to start devouring children's pop culture, just so I can talk to my nephews.
Yesterday, Caleb told me he'd watched Rack, Shack, and Benny. (From Veggietales.)
I know from experience that "Really? What happened in the story?" will get nothing but blank looks. But having seen R,S,&B multiple times, I could instantly ask "Really? Did they sing the Bunny Song?" and other intelligent questions.
This presents a problem. Because eventually, they're going to be watching/reading/whatevering things that I've never heard of - and I'll be back to "what happened?" and blank looks.
I can see myself avidly watching the latest Power Rangers equivalent...
