Texasmom, did you ever send your son's design to me?

[Nemisis]

Good for you Texas mom, I have always wanted to design a cool vidieo game level, but I am too lazy and never got around to it. You should give me the legal rights to the map .




Just kidding.

Texasmom, did you ever send your son's design to me?

I'm sorry, I sure didn't. Once I told him I have your address to send it to he freaked out about it being perfect and is redrawing it 30 million times.  To me, one drawing doesn't look different from the next, but he's not satisfied with them anymore now that he thinks someone other than his Mom is going to look at them. So I'll still send it, but not until he gives the 'okay it's perfect' thumbs up.

[Ripsnort]

No worries, just make sure he uses revision numbers on his drawings. 

[texasmom]

LOL. That's so funny. I'm not going to ask him to add those. He'll be pissed that revisions have to be identified.

With that kid it's either perfection or failure.  If you're not presented perfect the first time, you fail; he won't move on to #2 problem on a math page until #1 is answered correctly, perfect penmanship, etc. 

He leaves no allowance for 'correction' through learning mistakes and making improvements the next go around. He's willing to make corrections, but in his mind, it's already a failure because it wasn't perfect to begin with.

Drives me crazy with him sometimes, because his view of personal relationships is the same.  He thinks:
As a young man, he's a failure because of x, y, & z.
As parents, TxDad & I are failures because of x, y & z.
His brothers are failures because of x, y & z.

Until I watched him grow I always thought that I had a problem with things being viewed only as right/wrong. period. black & white.  no gray area.  Not the case anymore, my narrowness pales in comparison to his.

Well, then you'll never have to worry about paying for a Doctrine degree! Its ALL about grey areas!!

Sounds like a serious young man.

Hey Mom can you give us a link to their video?  I would love to see it.

Sorry, I didn't get the computer stuff necessary to transfer it from the x-box to the computer.  I'm supposed to do that.

But if you're plugged into x-box live, it should be on the maplist. It's name is 'storming the beach.' 

Oh wait, that's not correct.  The only thing there is the map itself for you to play on.  I have to do the computer transfer thing before the video can be viewed.  Sorry!
