Paternal Pride
Okay, I knew this would happen eventually - I just didn't think it would happen so soon... today my son Josh for the first time beat me at a game without me letting him do so on purpose...
Yes, I admit it: I've been beaten (fair and square) by a three-year-old - and at a computer game, no less! You see, when it comes to the internet, Josh is rather fond of (apart from Elmo's World and the one-and-only "Sendung mit der Maus") these psychedelic "entities" called, uhm, Blobbies... and he's particularly keen on playing their Shape Challenge game...
And guess what? Today, we played against each other. Well, that's how I interpret it, for him, it was simply "Your turn, Daddy!". At which point he had scored 16 bloody points in the first round - without once clicking onto a wrong field. I tried as hard as I could, but while I'm faster than him at reaching a field with the mouse (once I've made up my mind) I twice simply didn't get the right one and in the end only came up with 15.
P.S. Yes, I felt old... but hey! You try it... ;-)
P.P.S. Yes, today is official "Use italics in blog entries"-day...
