Atari, X-Box, Play Station. I know, I know, there are so many other things my family needs. Education, activities, health care. But, OMG, we were at this pizza place last night - and they totally had Galaga and Ms. Pac Man. Erik kicks little blue ghost butt! I didn’t know that about him. My Toto listening, Space Invader playing, bowl of Captain Crunch eating self was attracted to him in a whole new way.
My point is, I played, Erik played, the kids played, and we had a blast. (Pun intended.) See, as couples and families mature, it’s really important to spend time together. Finding that thing you can all do, and enjoy, can be a challenge. We are not acrobats or a family of trapeze artists, soooo there’s not that. But, there is Pac Man.
Cause I know that I love it, the jury is still out on Erik, but the kids…well, that’s obvious.
On a Saturday night at home with pizza, beer, juice boxes, and a little waka waka waka, my God, what could be better?
(Don’t answer that.)
