Resistance

I should be doing homework for my class tonight, but I must ask,

What does a parent do when their child asks for one thing, and one thing only, for birthday (and Christmas), and The Thing is something you and your spouse have agreed would not enter the home?

David's answer: Disappoint your child.
Sarah's answer: Try to find something else that he wants
My answer: Give in because I'm a sucker, hee hee, but then realize that I can't give in because I do not agree with video game systems sucking brain cells and precious time from sweet children. I have to stand firm.

I think of this line from a movie:

We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They invade our space and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!

I cannot give in to Joshua's charms. I must draw the line here. Here, and no further!

Yes, I love Star Trek. Yes, I say it with Picard's accent. Yes, I know I'm a dork.
