Heavyarms don't do baby showers and so we left it up to our son to decide if he wants go out of town with mom or stay home with dad. We gave him the choice about a week ago and at dinner Sunday, posed the question again. He thought for a moment and asked, "If I stay home with dad, could I play video games?" "Well, you've gotten up on time and gotten dressed and done your homework for two weeks without any problems. Yeah, you can play video games."

My wife, who for some strange reason, believes it is not good to play video games for more than about 30 minutes at a time, quickly jumped in, "But you can't play video games ALL weekend, son. You'd have to stop playing for a little while and do other things."

He looked at her and, without pausing, replied "I know that MOM. I'd have to stop so I can eat and go to the bathroom and go to sleep!" (DUH! - H)

*sigh*

He's WAY too much like his old man, sometimes.
