Craig Playstead’s son couldn’t find his Nintento DS. This was a serious problem.
Boy #1: Dad, do you know where my (Nintendo) DS is?
Me: No, I didn’t play it last.
Boy #1: No, really—I need it.
Me: You need it?
Boy #1: Do you know what will happen if I don’t find it?
Me: Yeah, I know what will happen. You’ll read even more books—get smarter, do better in school, get into a killer college and dominate, start your own business, do something no one in history has done, build an empire and change the world.
Boy #1: So, do you know where it is or what?
About Craig Playstead
Good stuff ! It’s funny how kids will see something like that as so important. My 4 year old daughter thinks the world is going to end unless she can pick out the color of spoon she’ll use for dinner.
I have three kids that can’t find their DS or need it charged at the same time!! And we were in the car!!
Great exchange… With the advent of the DVR my 3 year old assumes that Dinosaur Train is “on-demand” at his leisure. Doesn’t work so well when we visit Grandma and Grandpa’s house who are not quite as wired…
Classic case of talking to your kids without being heard. I often wonder if I could speak to them through the DS or TV if they would listen better. Nintendo, don’t take me up on this idea.
