Welcome to Scoop, where you get the Scoop on this week's news.

My name is Jenna, and this is Smarter News.

Hello, everybody.

Welcome to Scoop on July 28th.

Monday, July 28th.

We're at the final Monday in July, believe it or not,

cruising right into August and right into a congressional recess period, which is not as much

fun as elementary school recess was. As I said it out loud, I thought recess period sounds like,

great, didn't you look forward

to that when recess was? We should have, we should have recess. Why did we do away with recess?

Everyone needs a little recess in the middle of the day where all of us get to go outside and play.

Am I on to something? I just stumbled upon this just right now. I feel like you go outside,

you take a couple swings on a swing set. You might jump around, play a little forceware,

just move your body and then come back and do a little work before lunch. Listen, recess.

Let's bring it back. The congressional recess looks a little different. But I'm into it. I just, I feel like,

you know, some things just, as soon as you say them out loud, they suddenly sound like a good idea.

That sounds like a great idea. I loved Foursquare. Does anyone else into Foursquare?

The bouncy rubber ball and like, you know, I just like, I remember that. The Dodgeball,

war ball sort of scene was a little violent periodically. But the four square, two square sort

of action I was into, I was into the bars. I was into that sort of stuff. Where did that time go?

You know, you're on something really good as a kid. And then suddenly you grow up and you suddenly

don't do those things. But this, I feel like, should be brought back. And I see those on the live chat agreeing.
