Twelve and Kind-Hearted

He is twelve and kind-hearted. 
I agree to try another video game because I love him.
He keeps giving me glowing reviews.
“You are doing well, grandma!”
“You got a lot further than last time, grandma!”
Sometimes I know when my spaceship has crashed and burned.
Other times I keep pushing the kill button, thinking I am still in the game somewhere.
At one point he said, “Grandma, you can stop pushing the buttons now.”
Telling me that I had already crashed and burned.

Sandra Adams Date: 8/4/2019 7:14:00 PM lol....i played video games with my children as they were growing up and could handle them back then, now they are too complicated for my aging eyes to follow....enjoyed this one and the laugh it gave me :) Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 8/5/2019 5:14:00 AM I have the buttons and I do really try, but I keep forgetting in some games you run into the stars, and in other games you are supposed to avoid the stars. Crash and burn is my motto.
