shockwave player

Ok folks, I’m cleaning out the cobwebs… with no explanation. Not yet. Just something funny that I don’t want to forget…

Last Friday N turned 7. Wow. Hard to believe, but it’s true – my baby is 7 now. A couple of days ago, he was playing on his computer, I was playing on mine.. and he came over, all wide eyed and serious and the following conversation ensued:

N : Mom, can you please come help me with something on my computer? I only have 30 days FREE To play this game, and I need to do it very quick because they just asked me to be (insert EVEN more serious face) a shockwave player.

(( for the record, when he said “shockwave player” it vaguely sounded familiar to me, but I was still a little lost on what he was talking about…))

Me: ..they asked you to be a what? (not even concerned with who “they” are – what a wonderful mom, eh?)

N : a shockwave player, mom! So i said (in a virtual whisper..) install now

It took everything I had to not lose my head with laughter. I never told him any different. He still thinks that “they” asked him to be a shockwave player, and that it’s a super great honor to be asked, and to have the opportunity to install now.

My Favorite Quotes

I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life. And I am horribly limited. — Sylvia Plath
