we have been spending most of our days this last week holed up in our room, watching tv, napping, and bemoaning our existence. we have depleted our tivo’d shows and our netflix movies, and i have finished two books. so today i am on the computer working (sitting up, hurrah) and jeff has turned to video games to entertain himself.
miss anna, who is finally showing us glimmers of her sweet self is in bed next to jeff, cuddling her silky, sipping sprite, and watching him.
in the last hour i’ve heard:
“dad, use your nunchucks.”
“dont waste your smokebombs dad.”
“cut off his arms daddy!”
“yea, now go that way-no, that way.”
“just go after him dad.”
“they kill you on instinct.”
“dad, this is going to be pretty easy i think.”
“do you need more health? yea. dad-get some more health.”
“i hate the sword guys.”
with much glee: “now you can blow up people.”
if you had told me ten years ago if i would be allowing my four year old daughter to watch her dad while he plays stupid irritating video games that i hate and wish to god had never been invented i would have vehemently argued that you were lying and been insanely offended.
but hey, she knows what she is talking about.
that is too funny, but very sweet that she enjoys spending time with her dad. glad you are feeling better.
Sounds VERY MUCH like our house! Hate the video games. Hope you all feel better asap!!!
you funny lady.
i like to see you without all the pixels, by the way.
for some reason I think thats going to be my life in three years…
And I thought I was the only mom who chuckles and cringes simultaneously when her daughter screams “Yeah, you killed him!” while watching her dad play video games.
Amen on the video games belle! but she is crackin me up. all that was said by anna? i hope you guys are all “getting some more health”.
Oh my goodness, I am SO GLAD it is not just us – my daughter isn’t quite 4 yet, but I hear “eat the food” “go into the castle” “get him” “he got you!” and so on. Scary.
LOL.
I completely understand that scenerio!! I have two boys and have to fight to keep the games mild, which is hard when dad likes the shoot em up games.
Glad to hear you guys are feeling better!!
I’m glad there’s someone out there who feels like I do about video games–“stupid irritating video games that i hate and wish to god had never been invented.”
I’ve felt that way since my husband and I were in college and he saved his pennies to buy a Nintendo. That was 1988 or 1989. I swore to him way back then, that if we got married and had children there was no way in hell I was ever allowing anything like that in the house. Ever.
Yet here I sit in 2007 with two kids (and a husband) who have every gaming system that exists! What happened? When did I give in?
haha…THAT is fantastic…and completely cracking me up. ;)
We have t have a seperate insurance policy for our computer quipment but i am yet o succumb to the occasional beg for one of these things… ick. HATE them – but… sounds like she was having fun – and jeff would never do anything he thought was harming her! pleased you are all doing better.
haha!!! that sounds like my house too!
Lol..too funny…just like at our home :)
That is hilarious! Somehow at our house everything we never let the oldest one do until he was 10, the youngest is doing at 5, lol! OOPS!;o) Thanks for laugh, glad you are all feeling better!
Hmmmm, sounds like she’s been spending too much time with her uncle Shane. :)
i. so. totally. feel. you.
ugh, games.
