Gameboys Off

From the front seat I announced an hour and a half until Gameboys off. A threat of sorts it may have seemed, but a promise is what I intended. Play a game of cards, I thought. Read while the sun is up. Or better yet, look out the window!

Only 30 minutes have passed since then. Just moments a ago the two machines went click. They set them aside, and Ben made an announcement of his own.

We're turning the Gameboys off now, Dad. Before you can tell us to.

He seemed to take some pride in that.

And now they are wedged into their respective pillows in the back, asleep or at least trying to be.

So much for the looking out the window idea.
