Reality vs. Fiction

I took the kids to the beach over Memorial Day weekend. While there we met a delightful little guy named Jackson. He taught Joseph to catch sand crabs, informed us of their dietary needs and filled a bucket with water, sand, crabs and clams for Elizabeth to look at.

He told us he was four years old.

He was a total kick in the pants.

When we came home, Joseph said, "I had so much fun meeting this new Jackson."

"He was great, wasn't he?"

"I'm glad I unlocked a new friend during free play."

Umm....

Yeah. It's time to put a hold on the Lego video games.

That is SO something my kids would say. If they're outside playing tag or hide and seek, they'll yell, "Pause game!" if they need to go use the bathroom.

Bwahahaha! I'd like to unlock some new friends. Maybe Joseph can teach me how?

Yeah, I definitely need skills unlocking friends. I must not have the right cheat codes.

Mama Wants This said...

Haha! Kids are so funny. And surprising.

Cheryl said...

HEE! That's hysterical!

Mad Woman said...

Oh boy. Yes, in similar fashion, my daughter thinks everything has a touch screen like MY iPad. No, Maddy, scrolling your fingers across the TV will not change the channel.

But your Joseph, WAY TOO CUTE.

LOL! I've heard a comment or two (maybe even three or four or more...shhhh...) like that around these parts!  Thanks for sharing the cuteness and how Joseph 'leveled up'! :>

mandyland said...

OMG! How awesome would it be to scroll through the TV?!?

mandyland said...

At least he didn't try to use the Force or something. *sigh*

And that line between fiction and reality is so blurred!

Did you do a google search? If you go to www.unlockfriendscheatcodessoIdontfeelsoawkward.com, you might be able to find something.

mandyland said...

I hope he teaches me first!

mandyland said...

HAHAHAH! That's awesome. Do they freeze to pause the game?

mandyland said...

I know, right?

mandyland said...

Makes me seriously think he's playing too many video games. Bummer. :)
