The Addict in me

THISISIT. I have never been one for playing computer games, being addicted to my phone or Internet games.  However, watching my daughter on Moshi Monsters.  mm, adopt a monster then feed it, play with, buy it things etc etc. intrigued me.  The game was a children's version of I understand Ugly Birds.  (I think that is the name from my Husbands IPhone).  Anyway she played it very well, but sometimes just couldn't get the angle right. 

I then noticed that she was pulling the monster on the catapult back enough, therefore it did not reach its destination.  Frustrated for her, I wanted to have a go to see if I could do.  This is not me, I don't do these things. 

Anyway, everytime she missed, I tried to get the laptop to show her, but she was not giving it up this was her challenge and no mother of hers was going to have a go.   Level 8 she was still going good, but not always getting the results she needed.

Eventually after may times of "I could do that", "please can I have a go" "just let me try".  Yes I had become the child and almost an addict.  Eventually she reluctantly handed the laptop over to me.

To her delight and my surprise I did very well, got her onto the higher level and gained her more points than she had ever achieved.  ( points buy food and nice things for the monster).  What a good game and I think she was impressed!!!!

When the game was shut down, she disappeared, only to re-appear with a beautiful card.  I quote words and spellings hers.
Well don Mum!
Dear Mum, this card is for your for 3 resons.
1. a winner
2. a grate helper
3. the best mum ever!

My cup spileth over,  I have achieved grate (great) things in my child's eyes and wonderful place to be if only for a short time.  This is it.
