As much as I hang out in several places on the Internet, I never really bought into some of the gamer / 1337 sp33k slang that permeates the web. Under normal circumstances the only time you'll find me using that jargon is when I'm making either a joke or a point. But tonight I finally found an occasion to let one slip, without any hint of irony.
My wife and I were trying to talk to my six year old daughter, with little success (by the way, what is it with kids tuning out their parents? This is a phase they outgrow in their early teens, right?). In frustration I finally proclaimed that I was wasting my time even trying to communicate, and that from now on I should just come home and just sit on the couch like a lump. My six year old, bless her little heart, finally responded wth the following question:
"You mean like Mommy?"
PWN3D.
