SO, my five-year-old, Raine, sees us playing games all of the time. We do role-playing games most Saturdays, and board games when no one is ready or able to ref. We do computer games daily. She's hooked. We let her play Spore, and actually had to take it away because she wouldn't/couldn't concentrate on other stuff that she needed to, like school. OK, she's 5, she'll get better at it. We'll help her learn to balance things. I hope.
Anyway, Uncle Carl let her have a character on World of Warcraft. Now I know she isn't the only little kid with a character on one of these games. I'm sure many parents who play let their offspring have a character to run around a newbie zone with. We like to share our love of gaming, ya know. She picked out a Tauren, so she could look mean, and ran around smashing things with a hammer. Then I think Carl made a hunter orc character for her, instead. She heard us talking about getting gold, so she wants to get a lot of gold now. Carl asked her what she was going to use the gold for, and her reply was "to get girls." This amused him no end, of course, although he had to tell her that you couldn't get girls with gold in WoW. Of course she wanted to know... "boys?"
