Well Mike, you little ingrate. Who brought you into the world, fed you, sent you to school (when I could find you)and paid for your ROTC Candy when you ate it all and didn't have the money to pay for it yourself? Who plugged in the hole you drilled between the bedroom and the bathroom so you could spy on the cute babysitter while she was in the shower? Who just smiled with tears in her eyes when the one class you passed was the "wrong bowling course" and you didn't get credit for it. Who spent half her time rescuing your cat from you and clearing all the moldy hot dogs out of your underwear drawer? Who went to all the trouble of hiding all your Christmas Presents under your own bed because she wanted you to be surprised on Christmas and knew the on place you would never look was under that bed? Does this sound like lazy to you?

You, my dear, perfected the "Art of Laziness" all by your own little self. It was cultivated, not inherited. I find it endearing, especially now that you are not living with me anymore.

Yesterday I left your apartment with a tear in my eye, heart softened by your attention. I walked on air grateful to be able to, for once, share things you like to do. It made me feel special, Mike. Sort of like the time you gave me a half eaten bag of M$M's for Mothers' Day.

By the way...if you had put the right picture up I would have looked a lot slimmer and much younger and also been holding the control the right way.

Ahhhhh that felt good. Now that I can log in be sure that I will return. Have to go and find your baby book. Lots of material there. Love, Mom

While you're actually being productive, your mom is probably commenting behind your back here on Kotaku.
Hell, for all we know, she could be Witzbold...

Count yourself lucky, my mom won't touch technology...

Though, she has hinted interest at the Wii...And she does want to get a new TV...

My mom has played a few games of Wii Sports but other than that nothing. I'm gonna try and get my mom to play Mario Kart Wii & Wii Fit =p

Your mom plays point-and-click adventure games? I think that arguably makes her more hardcore than many people here. Does she fight like a dairy farmer?

BtownDesignGuy — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 11:56:53 MDT

So does that mean that people who act violent after playing violent videogames also got that from their parents?

I laughed pretty hard at the end of the story, perfect thing to read when first waking up in the morning.

@el_gordo: Maybe she's just that good she's actually facing away from the TV and is showing off by bowling backwards? Although who has chairs facing away for the TV. Well Fahey?!?!

So you may have inherited the laziness/love of games, but if your mom is like my mom, hopefully you didn't inherit the ability to make your hands jump in sync with Ratchet and Clank.

Well, if you had the foresight to have those condom thingies on your Wiimotes, you might at least escape the major bruising.

Is there a secret technique that only holding the wiimote upside can achieve that I don't yet know about?!

So do all Wii controllers function upside down in the southern hemisphere?

Well good look with that Fahey.

Honestly, I've only played Wii Sports once, and I was totally hooked. Getting a perfect curve on Bowling is just addictive. Don't blame yourself, blame Nintendo!
