This week, Aaron and Leyla had a rough time and decided to give themselves a little break. We'll be back in two weeks with the beginning of our spy unit but in the meantime, we lick our wounds.

This week, Aaron and Leyla indulge in the glorious tradition of watching advertisements for video games and going, "Ooh!" "Aah!" or "Neat, but not for me."
