Nine Year old glaze

I have been holding back and waiting to write when the time was perfect...okay so really Telima just makes sure that I stay posted and so I do not worry about writing. I could not however pass up Jenafer's lovely post about video games and young children.

I know that none of you will believe me but I was once a young child too. As a young child I played many video games and it was by far my parents' favorite way to keep us out of trouble. Ah, the special moments spent basking in the glow of a TV that was inches from your face. You got this warm sensation in the back of your head that assured you that youhad to win the next round, or get over the next enemy. Ah, Telima says I now use the computer for such sensation, she is probably right. I at least am not playing games but rather writing code.

Jenafer, for your sake...for the sake of mothers everywhere I hope that there is an chain explosion in all video game manufacturing plants at one time. I know it is hoping to a little much but it is the only way we will stop seeing 20+ men with 9 year old glazed eyes.
