Videogames vs. Television (Jerz’s Literacy Weblog)
He’s done his homework, taken his bath. The six-year-old boy has an hour or so before bedtime. He’s already read a book to his little sister, and plans to listen to a book about elections as bedtime reading.
What to do in the meanwhile? Watch a TV show or play a computer game?
His mom would like to sit in the living room and watch a show.
His dad would like to sit in the den and play a game.
The boy gets out his “Electronic Spider Stompin’ Game” and pits mommy against daddy. Winner takes all.
Daddy wins by one stomped spider.
Heh… that’ll be the next battle.
Dennis,
What an awesome way of settling differences! But what about comic books? =)
I would have loved to have been there to see that!
