My hubby isn’t technologically savvy, not stupid, simply not interested in computers and such, doesn’t even own a cell phone. If I leave him in front of the pc, it would probably take him a good 15 minutes before he figured out how to turn it on :o. With some heavy tutoring from my 10 yr old, he could master a few levels of a video game, but it’s not an enjoyable pastime for him.

My son got a tetris stocking stuffer, a little hand held game, nothing special, but fun. I’ve taken to leaving it in the basement, and when I pop down there for a quick smoke, I sit and play.

Hubby disappears for a good half hour this evening so I go investigate.

There he is in the basement on my folding chair tetris game in hand, intently staring at the screen.

Hubby – how do you play this, it doesn’t make sense?

I crouch down beside him and take over the game.

Hubby – what are you doing, the lines are disappearing, you’ll never win that way.

I pause the game and look up at him.

Me – um, that’s the point honey, make lines, when you make lines, they disappear. The idea is to make the required number of lines in the alloted time. Just make lines, that’s it.

Hubby (all innocent) – Ah, I thought I had to fill up the screen as quickly as possible.

:) gotta love him.
