If someone asked my children if they PLAY video games, they would say yes; yet, we don't OWN any video games. They'd also say that guitar hero is their favorite game and they would probably sound like experts, but the only time they played it was over a weekend at a cousin's house back in July...:)<BR/><BR/>Julian gets addicted to electronic things, too, which is why I won't own a game console. I inherited a playstation from my sister's belongings and I sold it on eBay. Then Dan's sister offered us a different one (gamecube?) and was rather shocked when we thanked her but declined! lol!alainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14236127207791149091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369726295282299526.post-14186857179627098032008-09-16T21:01:00.000-04:002008-09-16T21:01:00.000-04:00Max is the same way.

I truly wish he could be satisfied with a little game-time here and there, but that does NOT work for him. It's all or nothing. Fortunately, like you said, the out-of-sight out-of-mind works pretty well (so far!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369726295282299526.post-11436569417413240392008-09-16T18:32:00.000-04:002008-09-16T18:32:00.000-04:00I just misspelled hypocrite.
