Times where you feel old.

I call Link "Zelda" because that's fucking hilarious. Like calling Samus "Metroid" or calling Master Chief "Halo."

It's a silly joke, but it makes me laugh.
 
So last week at judo, one of the kids was being a smart arse. He's like seven years old. I look at him and I ask, "What would you prefer? That I give you more push ups... or that I tell your dad you're misbehaving?"

He looks at me, eyes wide open, shaking his head, "DON'T TELL MY DAD."

I laugh, "Yeah, or what he'll take away your toys?"

"HE'LL TAKE AWAY MY IPAD!"

"Yeah he'll take-what?"

"DON'T TELL HIM PLEASE I'LL DO THE PUSH UPS."


I was stunned that this kid has an iPad at his age. I look at him and I say, "You know, when I was your age-" and then I stopped, realizing I've said -that- line. I can never go back. It's like going full retard, except in regards to your age and being old.

I can't believe how it's such a "norm" nowadays for kids to have expensive electronics like that as toys... seriously though, when I was his age, I had a Gameboy with one game, and I had one of those 'art studio' brief case things that have all of a kid's art supplies in it, water paints, colouring pencils, crayons etc.
