Tiny Diggers – An iPad Construction Truck Game for Kids Age 2-5

NPR Senior Foreign Correspondent Anne Garrels, or as host Peter Sagal refers to her, NPR’s Places You Wouldn’t Want To Visit On A Bet Correspondent, appears as a guest via telephone on the latest episode of NPR’s news quiz gameshow, all the way from Baghdad. When asked about what she does in her free time in Iraq, she says she can “dress in an abaya, you know, one of those black robes, from head to toe, and sort of pretend I’m a black bag in the back of a car.”

Speaking further, she says, “I’ve actually been perverted here by my producer, Tom Bullock, he’s unfortunately taught me… this Wii thing, on, you know, with video games?”

“Wait a minute, you have a Wii? I can’t get one of those in Chicago, and you got one in Baghdad?” asks Sagal.

“You’d see, at sort of two in the morning, when you’re really jagged, and you can’t sleep, you’d see this aged woman, playing with herself… well, playing tennis with herself, excuse me.”
