overheard at the dinner table

"Dad I know something you did that was wrong when you were little."

"What?"

"You erased Uncle Kory's game and he busted you up!"

"Why did Uncle Kory bust you up?"

"I accidentally erased his game."

"But it was an accident!"

"Yep, but he was pretty mad."

Kerry says that of all of Kory's "stories" this is the one that he remembers! I love the fact that my kids are around their uncles enough to hear stories about their dad when he was little. Anyways, the game erasing story is pretty priceless so I'm gonna have Kerry write it so that we have it forever:

Zelda was the first game that could save your progress. it had 8 levels i think and Kory was working night and day on his Zelda game. now remember i was about 8 years old and kory was 13 i think. so as little brothers do i watched him for hours if i was lucky enough to be allowed to stay in the room and watch. The only condition was that i had to not say a word!!! And i was pretty good at that. at this time he had just gotten to level 8. well one day i decided i wanted to play Zelda myself. little did i know that Zelda only allowed for one saved game on the cartridge. so as i began to play my own guy then saved it at the end i realized that Kory's game was gone. i knew i was in deep trouble. well lets say i got a little bit of a beating from him for that one. well at this point i was in the fear of my life. i managed to escape at one point so i locked myself in my moms room and called my dad at work. little did i know that was a big mistake. so not only did i get a beating from kory but my dad did come home and i got it again from my dad, but kory did too so i felt at least a little safer.

Aren't brothers fun?!
