talk about cognitive dissonance

Matthew playing Lego Star Wars on XBox... and he had little Darth Maul driving around on a John Deere Tractor.

Yeah. My brain still hurts from that one.

I really should go to bed.

My five yr. old likes to make princess Leia dance in the slave girl costume. In fact, any character dancing kind of cracks him up. :)

I'm laughing because they're all so CUTE, and they're just trotting around and doing backflips and forward flips and it's silly and cute (and a WONDERFUL change from CoD and Halo, geez).

That's why my five yr. old's allowed to play. it really is a nice blend of adorable and aggressive.

It's nice. I miss when Matthew played the cute games, all the Disney-themed stuff. Now it's all Call of Duty, and Halo, and Assassin's Creed. I draw the line though with any game that has "strong sexual themes" and/or "sexual violence". I don't care if he wants to kill Nazi zombies (though the graphics are a little disturbing), but the other is just a big, fat no.

Agreed - I think it does get in their head space and limits are good! My 14 & 15 yr. old nephews are hitting teh age where that kind of stuff is always coming up. Apparently there's a breast photo app for your phone - my oldest nephew had his phone taken away.

Ha! That totally sounds like Drew. He loves that game and would play it constantly if I would allow it. (the XBox is in my room)

Isn't it fun being a Mom?

THis is why I love the LEGO games! In the Indy Jones one we rescued Santa Claus.
