Addiction

I invited my mom over this morning for breakfast. The rest of the fam is having fun in NYC. We had a really good breakfast. Today is rainy. So we decided it would be nice to just hang around and be lazy. Luke and Cindy came over and we all went to the dog park with our dogs. Mom, Luke, Cindy, and I had a great time chatting and just watching dogs be dogs.

I asked mom what she wanted to do when we got home. We both decided a lazy saturday afternoon was in order. Mom was surfing the net about golf and vacations. I started playing some of the preloaded games on the new xbox. There is a new game called Zuma that is really fun. You basically shoot colored balls out of a frogs mouth and try to match them to their like color and thus eliminate them from the ever expanding line of balls. The object is to eliminate them all before they get to the end of a path.

I played for a while and then I asked mom if she would like to try. She said she would give it a go. I gave her a small crash course on how to use and xbox controller and then turned her loose. Well......she's addicted!!!! Check it out!!! Thus proving even your mom can enjoy video games.

  1. Wow, your mom playing a video game. So miracles do exist. I don't blame her though... that game looked really fun.

    Now for the ULTIMATE challenge. I DARE you to try to get my grandma to even TOUCH a game controller of any kind. She can't even fathom trying to use a dvd player or cell phone without technical support (me) by her side. Compared to my grandma, your mom is Steve Jobs.
