Nintendo Wii

I bought my rotten stepson a Nintendo Wii.

But then the jerk also wanted me to buy him a Playstation 3.

I told him that money doesn't grow on trees.

When I didn't buy it, he decided to do something bad to me.

He broke all of my records and he smashed my big screen TV.

That pissed me off so I returned his Nintendo Wii.

He's bawling his eyes out, it's a sight that you should see.

I told him if he breaks anything else, I'll put him over my knee.

Though the piece is fictional it does describe a lot of kids today. Greey, selfish,all about themselves and lacking social skills by interacting with other kids by sports, getting out and pay, music, science, cubscouts if young, etc etc. Computers are fine for functional purpose and keeping in touch with people but they are also making zombies out of kids as are these dam handheld games. Rarely do you hear about a kid who really likes to read or get involved in things that are not just about themselves, I see it with my 10 yr old grandson all the time..
