Tomorrow my son turns ten. Y’all do NOT know how excited I am not to have a kid in the single digits anymore. Seriously. In any case, he’s a pretty cool cat. In honor of my son (a resolute gamer) here are ten signs you know that you are living with a gamer;

1- When driving and you ask him to ‘keep and eye out’ for the road you’re looking for, he tells you he’s doing recon.

2- When helping him cook onions and few escape the frying pan he tells you “ENEMIES OUTSIDE THE PERIMETER”

3- You don’t have worry about him finding porn on youtube, he’s watching gaming videos.

4- He knows exactly what to do in case of the zombie apocalyspe.

5- You hear “KILL, KILL” from the basement and you aren’t worried.

6- The most precious currency is XBox points.

7- He knows more about guns (real and fake) then you do.

8- He’ll mod your controller buttons if you want him to. Also, when playing games with him, take longer than a second to move and he’ll lose his shit.

9- When he’s talking about an expansion pack, he is not talking about the size of your butt.

10- Everything he knows about WWII, he learned from video games.

My son has asked Call of Duty Expansion Pack for his birthday. Gifts you can’t wrap, that’s life with a gamer.

I love you, Trace.
