Another kid story to share:
Being an older guy and having a 5-year-old stepson (Jonny) is quite an adventure...and a constant source of happiness.
Well anyway, I come home from work two days ago and Jonny is home from school and already has some transformers out and playing with them. I sit down and start to play with him and he wants the transformers to have a “rescue mission”. Now that’s a nice little vocabulary word for a 5 year old so I start to play along.
All of a sudden one of his transformers takes off into the air. I decide to challenge him a little and I say to him, “That transformer can’t fly, Jonny, it doesn’t have wings!!!!”
Jonny doesn’t hesitate, even for a second. He comes back with, “No, Dad, he can fly. He doesn’t need wings. He has “AIR TECHNOLOGY!!!”
And I can't help wondering if part of this came from letting him fly Paradis around Verteron Citadel a few times. That was worth every kinah it cost me. Jonny's adventures in Verteron were indeed the source of some other fun stories - like the time when I wasn't looking and he fell into the dinosaur and died (his description was hilarious), or the time he was eaten by Crab Norris and came to me with tears in his eyes. He hadn't the slightest concern with bots, goldsellers, grinding, or end game challenges; no thought of being ganked, zerged, or ajammed by a giant crab. Every moment was just a Zen moment for him. Makes me almost sorry that I'm so "grown up". (/LOL and wink)
