So I swung by a video game store during lunch today, and I see this kid in there not talking, not acknowledging anyone, playing his Nintendo DS, while his Dad was buying him a video game. The kid’s like 8 or something. Walks out, doesn’t look up.
Anyway, after he leaves, I joke with the clerk “wow, playing video games and can’t even pay attention to the video game store”.
Clerk responds “That’s a Hooosoowhoooshy, they only come out every one million years, he’s got to catch it”. (I gather that’s something like a Magic Morphing Pokemon Turtle or something).
I respond “A million years? That’s a really long time to be playing a video game”.
Clerk doesn’t quite get it.
