Made of devil

Jackson has made a pretty good friend at school. They seem to have equal interest in video games and Star Wars. This kid told Jackson that he has a Wii and a Play Station 2 and that his mommy lets him play whenever he wants to. Jackson says that this kid's mommy always says "yes." Well, good for her. That should work out nicely for her.

Anyway, these two have been trying to get together to play video games after school and that hasn't materialized for obvious reasons. Like I don't know this kid's parents and they don't know us. Anyway, today Jackson told us that this kid told him that he actually doesn't have a video game system. Since all Jackson wants to talk about is video games, I guess this kid felt like he had to lie to find some common ground with Jackson. That's kind of sad. But the kicker is that not only did this kid say he had this stuff but doesn't, he also said today that "video games are made of devil." Not of the Devil. But made of devil. So, devil is now an adjective? So, I'm not exactly sure where this leaves their friendship. It seems that this would be a deal breaker for Jackson. Jackson was quick to tell him that video games are not made of devil. You know this kid didn't make this up on his own. This is probably something one of his parents said, which further confirms that Jackson will not be going to their house. As much as Jackson talks about video games, you might think it is all he does when he's at home. He actually only gets to play on Mon, Wed, and Sat for 30 minutes. Occasionally, if friends come over or if he goes to a friend's house he is able to play on a non "video game day."

So, devil has apparently made its way into our home via video games. That stinks.

I would think "made of devil" would make "devil" a noun, thus even cooler -- I mean, creepier. Well, cooler if you could get him to play Devil Went Down To Georgia.

Hey, long time no visit -- aren't you glad I stopped by?

I'm going to try and quit texting you instead of Phillip, too, I promise.

Ah, yes, you're probably right as usual. I have long since forgotten grammar related stuff.

I thought you were boycotting me for some reason. I was so hurt. Really. Seriously. I mean it.
