We video chat quite a bit with my sister and her kids in Nebraska and they’ve gotten pretty used to it. It just so happened that my parents, who live about half a mile from them, decided to video chat with them last week. Ben, age 2, was a little confused as to what Grandma and Grandpa were doing in Texas, because as far as he knew that was the other end of the Internet. Eventually, they got it explained that they were not in Texas, but at home across the road. We got a big kick out of that one.
