Real Change (2 of 5)
Series: I Love My Life
Ryan Heller
Galatians 2:20-21
Are you a video game fan? I love them. In fact, I'm so excited because the other day, I found this disc with all my favorite games from the 1980s, and I can actually play them on my PlayStation. I have to tell you, video games from the 80s are like the Golden Age of video games. Video games today, in the twenty-first century, are too complicated; there are too many buttons and gadgets.
I love the old-school video games. I'm talking about a joystick and one red button. You know what I'm talking about, the good stuff. I was able to get this disc, and I have a five-year-old little boy, and I thought, ''I'm going to be a good parent. I'm going to teach my kids about the finer things in life.'' I began to teach Zayne about how to play games like Ms. Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Galaga, and Galaxian. I also taught him other epic classics from the 80s.
A lot of parents let their kids win when they play with them, but I am definitely not that parent. I'm not worried about Zayne's self-esteem or anything like that. I'm like, ''Buddy, come sit next to me. Bring it on! I'm going to beat you!''
Because he's five years old, he doesn't like that a whole lot. I'm telling you though, kids pick up on computers with amazing aptitude and dexterity. My kids can get on iPads and things, and I'm like, ''How did you do that?'' Anyway, Zayne says this phrase he loves to say when I'm beating him. He says, ''Daddy, you're cheating!'' I say, ''I'm not cheating. I'm beating you. There's a big difference.''
You know what he does? He will actually reach over and push the restart button in the middle of the game when I am just tearing him to shreds. Can you believe that? I'm like, ''Zayne, I'm on level twenty-seven! It took me half an hour to get here, and you're restarting the game? That's cheating, and that's not fair! You can't do that!''
Sometimes in life, we wish we could reach over and push the resta ...
