Mitchell has been asking me and begging me and pleading with me for a DS. My answer has been no from almost day one. (Not that I think there is anything inherently wrong with them. I just think kids need to do a lot more running around and hand held electronic games typically don’t encourage that.) I also told him that a boy who throws things when he gets angry or doesn’t get his way, is no way getting a game boy to toss around. He decided that if I was not going to buy one for him, he would make his own.
So he did. Complete with 4 games, a stylus and slots in which to store them when not in use. It is made out of paper and he used a pencil to draw the pictures. Of course he also gave me another reason for not wanting him to have a DS. Why would I want to willingly quash this creativity?
