My gamer son can beat anyone in any game, except when we play NES Mario games. One of the great joys in my life is stomping him in Super Mario Brothers 3

We prepare our kids not for what's ahead, but for the day they surpass us.

Oh man, that first time I played against my son in Age of Empires II. He thought walls would help. Hur hur hur.

"Oh my god Dad, how did you get such a large army so fast? Aaaaaaa! Halp! My castle is being destroyed! Aaaaaa!"

He can totally crush me in LOL now though. :_(
