so i'm in mom's room trying to floss my first molar which was crowned today. she was talking on the phone with one of my sis's friends about how another of her friends had a baby (my mother has become a hub to all of my sis's friends)...anyway, at some point the phone gets handed to my sister's godson (mom's grandgodson?) and she asks him what he's doing...he says he's playing on the PS2. she asks what he's playin. he says 'Scarface".
...i almost swallowed the floss. this kid is not even 6 yet. who in their right mind would let him play that game? oh right, his father.
now, before anybody says anything about the mother needing to put her foot down, you have to understand the situation a little better.
just as a little clue, this guy is someone even I'd think twice about giving my typical anti-smoking/drinking etc spiel. and I do that to just about anybody whether i know them or not. This guy is more unpredictable than me. He's always been amiable when I've told him he did something dumb (I've got at least 5 years on him)....but for all I know I either caught him in a good mood or he fears my parents. (which is entirely possible. they got a reputation somehow).
anyway, someone should get the kid a WII and give him something more appropriate to play. or VSmile. (note to self, remember vsmile when xmas rolls around.
in other news, for my birthday i got a PS3 and the game Folklore. I may need a new TV though. Certain bits of text wind up as blobs...to be expected with a regular TV.
