Now keep in mind that I was hungry and tired before I started earlier teaching that evening, so at this point this is the last thing I wanted to hear. Son or not I almost told <!--more-->him where to go.<\/p>\n<p>I knew the scene outside of the Gamestop was going to be a madhouse but I figured I could either brave the madness one night or listen to him moan and complain the next day. Since he didn&#8217;t have school the next morning, I knew he had planned on playing the game much of the following day. I made him come with me to the midnight launch thinking that this would teach him a lesson since he rarely stays up late and tends to get cranky when tired. This just goes to show you how dense I can be sometimes because wouldn&#8217;t you know he thought this was just the greatest gift ever.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1739\" title=\"jboogie\" src=\"http:\/\/jamesrichardson.net\/jtalk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/jboogie_n-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/jamesrichardson.net\/jtalk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/jboogie_n-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/jamesrichardson.net\/jtalk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/jboogie_n.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So last night I get in late from teaching an evening class and my son meets me at the door in damn near a panic.
