I used to be pretty good at fake Jeopardy.

I love game shows. I used to love the wacky drama of “Let’s Make a Deal,” and I would watch “Jeopardy” with a calculator in hand to see how I’d fare if I were on the show. Poppy seems to have inherited my love of the game show. She latched on to “Wheel of Fortune” early on — she called it “the clapping show” — and she’s on a first-name basis with Trebek.

I’ve never been a contestant on a game show, and I’ve never really wanted to be. I’d feel really self-conscious, which would make me blow any chance at winning the big bucks. Or the Brand New Car, or whatever. I’d like to see Rockford on “Don’t Forget the Lyrics.” I think he’d do really well. As long as he didn’t make me one of his “backup singers.”

Why am I telling you this? For a contest. ParentBloggers.com is teaming up with Oliebollen.com to give some stuff away. And when I say “stuff,” I mean whatever five items the winner wants. That’s my kind of prize. For those of who don’t win, there’s another treat: Every day from Friday, Nov. 28, through Monday, Dec. 1, Oliebollen.com will be giving away five free items. But there’s a catch: They’re hidden. It’ll be like a scavenger hunt!
