They've invented hard core drugs for 6-8yo boys. They're called Skylanders. Small Heave loves them with a passion. I've even got him doing the laundry to earn money to buy the things, but at £8 to £16 a pop, they suck his money out of his pocket and time from his life.
See what I mean about the correlation with hard core drugs? Hell yeah.
One night while having a major bout of insomnia, I started my own game. I am now addicted. I have my own Skylander called Hot Dog and he's hidden in the cupboard where Small Heave can't find it. This is ridiculous behaviour for a middle aged woman.
Ode To Skylanders
I may be pushing forty
or maybe a little more
but those little bits of plastic
strewn upon the back room floor
hold a dirty little secret
as when dark takes over light
I come down when they're sleeping
and I play the game all night.
