Teenage party
My son has just come into the bedroom to ask me if he can stay up until 11pm on Thursday for a party. Really pleased that he was getting a social life, maybe meeting a friend after years of just being interested in his own company so I said “YES!”.
Turns out he’s part of Guild called House of Rice, well that’s what it sounded like, on the internet game World Of Warcraft. He wants to go to this “party” as he’s been invited and all his “virtual friends” are going. I asked him to describe the party and he told me it wasn’t really a party, he just used that word because it’s a word I would understand. What’s he implying? The last party I experienced was cica 1986.
So the party is actually a raid on a robot. I asked him how many people were going, whilst trying not to laugh as his sister made a big L sign with her fingers at me whilst smiling sweetly at him. Turns out there are two going. I expect one of those was him.
All is well though as it turns out he now cannot go as he needs a speaker. I said ” can I speak for you?” He meant a proper, record player ( see I’m old…) type speaker. So I guess The Guild of Rice house party won’t be much of a party after all and I think the robot, whoever or whatver that is, will survive until Friday morning.
We can all sleep easy now…..
