David Blume"Mommy, Dad played video games until 11:00pm!"
That was my 9yo son trying to tell on me and get me in trouble. I had to clarify things for him. No, son, you're off by 5 hours. What's 11:00pm plus five hours?
He thinks about it. 4:00am? You played games until 4:00am? You played games for over five hours?
So I explain to him, "No, I watched a little Dexter. I balanced the bank statements. And I only played video games from 1:00am to 4:00am."
Wait. Did I just momentarily think I was setting a good example by telling my son I played video games from 1:00am to 4:00am?
