My kid made his birthday wish list

[desflood]

There are 13 damn things on it! He wants a couple of games (Super Smash Bros. and World of Warcraft), a Nintendo DS, Kids Bop 18, a toy sword and some ninja stars, an X-Box 360, 5 different comic strip books (Garfield, FoxTrot, Far Side, Calvin and Hobbes and Dilbert) and a Tails toy. Apparently he didn't get that memo about there being a recession :lol

[Bender]

I don't see how kids can appreciate Dilbert humor. You need to have worked in an office environment...

[DarkReign]

Ha.

Question...how old is your son? I wouldnt recommend WoW for anyone under the age of 15.

[Cry Havoc]

Ha.

Question...how old is your son? I wouldnt recommend WoW for anyone under the age of 15.

Also be aware that the game is not playable offline, and it requires a $15/month subscription fee.

[tlongII]

That's why they call it a "Wish" list and not a "Guarantee" list.

Don't forget the whole 'robs you of your personal life/soul' stuff

Or for anyone over 15 who ever wants to get laid.

:lmao

So true.

[DarkReign]

Also be aware that the game is not playable offline, and it requires a $15/month subscription fee.

Probably the most important point.

[IronMexican]

My cousin has been playing WoW since he was 14. He's now a 19 year old virgin.

[koriwhat]

lame games but i do know of one that is free online. guildwars! my old roommate lives his life through that pathetic game. anyhow if he could spend hrs, weeks, months, yrs on it then that kid will get great pleasure passing the time in a made up world too.

hahaha! only 21 more yrs to go.

[Hustle & Flow]

:lol

[z0sa]

Hopefully little desflood didn't want WoW too much. :lol

Oh, he's definitely not getting it - he's only going to be 10 :lol

I think the only reason he wants it is because my DEAR husband let the kids watch the WoW episode of Southpark. He'll most likely end up with the DS, Kids Bop, a couple of books and a talking to about how to not be a greedy little monster.

[IronMexican]

Get him the Kids Bop, so you can laugh at him in about 2-3 years.

[Sportcamper]

I just wanted a Schwinn when I was that age…

[Cry Havoc]

a talking to about how to not be a greedy little monster.

Can't get what you don't ask for.

Well, you can, but you won't.

Maybe you should praise him for being so ambitious. :hat

[DarkReign]

Smart mother.

[Calvin]

I wouldn't get him my books then.

dyno for me

[JoeChalupa]

I just wanted a Schwinn when I was that age…

Dang, talk about memories.

[SpursWoman]

My daughter will be 15 on the 17th ... I got her wish list about a week ago. :lol


I was actually kind of surprised, it wasn't too terrible. :fro

[DPG21920]

Get him WoW and then take it away so he can be like this:

YersIyzsOpc

[baseline bum]

^^^ Remote control up the butt never stops being funny! :rollin

[DarkReign]

YersIyzsOpc

See kids, heroin is fun right up until you decide to quit and experience withdrawals.

[DarkReign]

^^^ Remote control up the butt never stops being funny! :rollin

BTW, I had never seen that video up until today, but WTF was that?

He shoves the remote in his ass and it actually seemed to calm him down.

Disturbing. He will never live down this video, I am actually confident this young man was last seen swinging from a shower curtain.

[DarkReign]

Another meltdown.

A San Jose Sharks fan has a meltdown (hockey team). Queue the absolutely correct father.

If you just want to see the father, FF to 2:29

[IronMexican]

:lmao his dad got it 100% right. I never saw that Sharks video.

Shame! Shame! Shame!

I'm not one to tell folks how to parent, but Kids Bop is a terrrrrrrrrrrrible idea. Get the DS, a game (Pokemon or New Super Mario), Prince Valiant comic strip (he wants a sword, so that is sort of related) and Calvin & Hobbes...should be less than 200 for everything. :greedy

[Chomag]

Heh, I was lucky to get at least 1 gift from my parents.


I'm wondering how he would even know about the south park WoW episode if he is only 10? It's animated yes, but most of the content on that show is not for the children.

[CosmicCowboy]

:lol

I wanted a bigger rifle...in fact I chipped in some savings and got one for Christmas.

[marini martini]

:lol

When, last year???

[CosmicCowboy]

When, last year???

:lol

Actually I did treat myself to a new/different rifle last year but I negotiated a 30-06 for Christmas when I was 9. I was already mowing yards for money and chipped in half of the cost.

[mrsmaalox]

No not Kid's Bop!! I promise you'll hate yourself. ;)

We just do Christmas lists at my house, they list 5 things they want and they get 3 of them, all my choice. At birthdays they get one thing and a family dinner at the restaurant of their choice.

[marini martini]

:lol

Dang so you just went from a sling shot to a 30-06 by the time you were 9??? Bet you were real fun to play cowboys & indians with!!!!:lol

Maybe I missed something big, but I'm not sure what the harm is in a collection of songs sung by kids. All lyrics are edited to make them child-friendly.

[Chomag]

Oops, I missed where you already explained that, my apologies. Did you smack him up side his head at least? Your husband I mean. :lol

[Dex]

Maybe he's just giving you options?

As long as he doesn't expect to get everything on it, then I don't see the problem. Kids want the world.

[Stringer_Bell]

Des, look at me. Look me right in the eyes *points to eyes*...you don't want that music playing loud in your house or vehicle, or the shame that your son will suffer through in 3 years when he realizes how fucking lame Kids Bop is. It's not worth it, ma'am. Pretend you lost the list, whatever you gotta do to make it go away.

[IronMexican]

Exactly why she has to get it for him. It's going to be so embarrassing for him 3 years from now.

[Sense]

:lol@ kids bop...

[SpursWoman]

My kids loved Barney tunes when they were little ... they had no issues growing out of it at the appropriate time. If you happen to listen a little closer to popular music an the radio, a huge percentage of it is talking about fucking in some way or another. Lame music >>>>>>>>> the awkwardness of your 10 year old singing along to something about tying someone to the bed and setting the house on fire. :fro

Kids Bop is fine for a 10 year old. As long as mom & dad can stand listening to it over, and over, and over, and over ......

Sorry Stringer, but I'm with SW on this one. There's no shame in letting kids listen to kids music - especially when most of what they listen to is decent quality adult music anyway.

I do like that Eminem track, however, but not around the kids.
