Today, as I sit down to write this post, Squirts sees me pop open the computer and asks me what I’m doing. I tell him I’ve got a little work to do. He says he has work to do too, and asks if he could get on the other computer. For him, that work is ridding the world of bad guys and aliens on online games for kids.
And he takes his work seriously! He jumps up and down when he makes a good shot. He stands up in his chair and punches away at the keys as the action intensifies. The expressions on his face squeeze and pinch into shapes never seen before. He provides constant background dialogue of “Pow, pow!” “Get away you little guys!” “Hi-Yas!” and “Gotchas!” throughout the game.
