I cannot remember playing video games in my whole life. I really can’t. My son, years ago, right before we moved to Michigan, he said, “You’re gonna play with me.” So he got his Mario Kart out, and of course, the point of Mario Kart is to drive as fast as you can to the end. But — and so he’s — he must have been, what, 16 or something. No driver’s license, nothing yet.
So he’s just racing along, he gets done in just over two minutes. I’m there driving so — Mario so carefully. I don’t crash, I stay on the road. I was just driving so carefully that I finished that thing in over six minutes. A- and you’re not supposed to drive carefully for Mario Kart. You’re supposed to just boom, get there. So, poor [Name] finished in just over two minutes and he has to wait another four minutes for Mom to finish her very first game of Mario Kart.
And I told [Name], “This is nerve-racking because I’m watching you crash and go off the road,” and, you know, all the things that Mario Kart does that the kids think is so fun and I found it very nerve-wracking. So he didn’t make me play a second game. He just, he just was glad Mom played with him once, and he let it go at that ’cause it was too nerve-wracking for me.
