On a recent trip to Best Buy to spend some gift cards, I overheard a mother and son talking to a clerk about a few games. It was awesome.
MOTHER: You want to get what game? Tell the lady.
7-YEAR-OLD BOY: Left 4 Dead 2.
CLERK: We’re all sold out.
7-YEAR-OLD BOY: What about Modern Warfare 2?
MOTHER (flustered): It’ll go on sale later, let’s go.

A mother letting her kid play 2 of the most violent games released last year does not necessarily mean good parenting.
No I was talking about her decision to wait till the second one went on sale!
Let’s be reasonable here: The true crime is that both of those are largely multiplayer games. Ergo, we may be put in a situation where we will be forced to play with this 7-year old in question.
And the best part? That 7-year-old will be better than all of us put together.
