I had a little Facebook conversation with Rooster today. I thought you might enjoy reading it.
Me, posting on his wall:
Know what? I love you!! ♥
Him:
I’m at school… on my phone… gonna ground me??
Me:
Yep. You know better, oh child of mine. Guess I will have to take Black Ops hostage!
Him (via a friend, supposedly):
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!111!!!11!!! LEAVE BLACK OPS ALONE!
So, I did what every good mother does in this situation…
I uploaded this picture…

I also included this caption:
Eat your heart out, Rooster.
I then proceeded to upload one more picture, in case he didn’t get the message with the first one…

My caption for this one went like this:
Rooster, you’ll be lucky if you can pry the game out of my hands now! You were right…this IS an addicting game!
This got a response out of him:
You aren’t even playing… you are at the main menu.
Me:
Like, duh. You totally locked me out or something. I pressed every combination of buttons possible. But it was a fun ten minutes!!
BTW, get off of your phone NOW. I’ll call the school myself and report you.
Which prompted a response from one of his friends:
hahahahahahahhahaahahahahaha she got you good
I didn’t hear back from him after that.
When I picked him up from school, he was laughing.
I got him…real good.
But, he got the last laugh. It turns out that not only was I using the controller with dead batteries (hence a big reason why the game wouldn’t work), but I also had the headset on backwards.
I’m such a dork sometimes.

We do have to take some drastic measures sometimes, don’t we? 😉
Good work !!
That is so hilarious! I still have no idea how to watch a movie through the x-box!
YS’ Black Ops has been taken hostage, but for a completely different reason. 😦
Too funny! I thought your picture with the headphones looked a little funny, and then I had to giggle when you admitted that you were wearing them backwards 🙂
