Godsbody – Yesterday’s [Fake] News Today

Yeah, Casa Lickona fell for this, to the extent that the ol’ family calendar even has a notation on Sunday to go out and look for Mars. (Whose handwriting? Not tellin’.) Thank heaven (as it were) that I’m a lousy parent and forgot to let my chlidren know about this astonishing event. Instead, we attended a fantastic concert given by friends down at the main library (The husband has a new CD out, guitar-lovers.) Then out to pizza, then over to their house for ice cream. Music and food – better than Mars.

End note: I tried, I really tried to keep Third Son from planting himself in front of the House of the Dead game at the pizza joint. But the thing had guns attached. He would not be stopped. “Wanna SHOOT!” Well, of course you do.

(No, I did not actually let him play the thing. He just watched the intro, and pretended to be blasting off zombie limbs. Sigh.)

Comments

  1. A little late to comment this but that’s in the Godsbody style, right?

    Anyways, if your kids are getting to the age where video games are interesting (and trust me, they will be exposed to them), you might want to check out http://www.gamerdad.com. It’s a site focused on gaming with your kids, or at least making good choices about what they play. I saw the guy who started it this weekend speak on a panel and he’s clearly interested in making sure his kids play the right games, and at least wait awhile before they play the “wrong” ones.

    Hope you find it interesting!
