"That's because she's not a boy"


This past weekend my children didn't listen when it was time to get off the Nintendo Wii. They had just gotten a new Star Wars Lego Wii game and were pretty engrossed in it. As my wife was getting upset about it, my 3-year old chimed in and asked if he could play with my iPod touch. My wife was a little frustrated and in an angry moment exclaimed (for the Nth time) "Ugh, I hate the Wii" (she really doesn't, she likes Wii Fit).

As she stepped away, I looked at my 7-year old and quietly commented "Mommy doesn't like videogames".

He immediately said, so matter-of-factly "That's because she's not a boy."

He's so right. :)

Soooo true, and sooo funny. Give Lisa our love -- and sympathy -- but NOT empathy! We're boys!
