Mark called this afternoon from school
and wanted to know if he could go over to Mikey's house. I said yes, of course! I figured perfect, I can load up the Sims for Sebastian to play, then clean the house.
Just as I'm getting into my house cleaning groove, Mark calls and says they are on their way over here.
They show up and I'm still cleaning so I put them to work doing things and moving the beast of a coffee table so I can vacuum under it, cleaning up the coffee table, (that is their junk so it's fair) and other such odds and ends before I let them play video games.
But now the house is clean, all floors vacuumed and swept and mopped, dusting and bathroom, dishes done, I can rest again.
I'm on the boys pc so Sebastian can play, he loves that game. If given a choice between game consoles or Sims, he goes for Sims 99% of the time.
He does good at it too. I remember when he first started playing it, the houses would have mismatched paint and no toilets or refrigerators and he'd wonder why his Sim people were starving or peeing all over the place.
Now he builds elaborate mansions with coordinating everything and his families thrive.
I couldn't take care of a toddler in that game because it was a hellion, throwing tantrums and crawling all over and almost falling down the stairs.
But Sebastian managed to raise it from a baby to a toddler, and now it's a child of about 10 years old. It's good in school and does chores around the house.
Interesting.
I think it says something about Sebastian, although I don't know what.
I was tempted to lock my brat of a Sim toddler in a room with no doors or windows, and let it die. It was that frustrating for me to deal with.
Of course, that would have made my Sim family ultra sad and miserable, so I did what any good game player would do.
I deleted that whole family and started over.
Ha!
Ok, enough rambling for now, off to play on various sites.
Later days.

That game is so addictive.
