[QUOTE="francisca, post: 5426729, member: 9734"] I can only assume you don't have kids. Mine are incredibly creative. They write and illustrate their own stories, build amazing stuff with legos, construct all kinds of stuff from paper, cardboard, tape, and glue, and love playing tabletop D&D and miniatures. And lest you think I've shielded them form the evils of TV and videogames, think again. We have a Wii, they play games on the PC (Zork is one of them, right along side Lego Star Wars), the 2 older boys have Nintendo DS handhelds as well. They laugh their cans off at Spongebob and Fineous and Ferb (Adventure Time has been banned, however). Hell, the older two even play football and basketball (jocks, perish the thought....) And they love to read. Even the 4 year old has told the wife and I that we need to teach him how so he can read "Harry Potter and the Dungeon Dragons books". They don't seem to be atypical, either. Their friends are much the same, many even having "gamer dads" like me. But go right ahead and keep selling them short. [/QUOTE]
