It can be a big waste of time, but it can also be a memory for a father and daughter too when it's late at night or rainy out. Life is what WE make it.


Edit, that said ... my dad didn't have much issue's with me playing video games. I was outside a LOT, but also stayed up late when it was "home time" playing video games. He said he'd rather me be in the house after dark playing video games than doing what the other kids in the 'hood were doing ... drugs, gangs, etc ... Again, it's what we make it.
