Convo with Mom

  • Mom: That Call of Duty disk is in the floor, for Xbox?
  • Me: Oh, don't worry about it. It doesn't work. We tried booting it up and it froze on the first screen.
  • Mom: Oh. Well, maybe you guys could replace it.
  • Me: I don't want to, because I don't really like that game. I'm not much for war themed games.
  • Mom: That's because its a guy game.
  • Me: There's no such thing as guy or girl games. They're all games.
  • Mom: Yes there is. They exist.
  • Me: Then explain why everybody can play everything..
  • Mom: It's a stereotype, and even if you don't believe in it, other people do, and that makes it real.
  • Me: Well, I play 'guy' games, and that constitutes a very large section of every game ever.
  • Mom: True.
  • Me: The only time that stereotype really annoys me is when a girl thinks she's something special because she plays these so-called guy games. Like that chick that works at the upstairs Gamestop in the mall.
  • Mom: You mean the one with the pretty brown hair?
  • Me: Yeah, her.
  • Mom: I like her.
  • Me: Well, I don't. She thinks shes something special because she plays Call of Duty and I hardly ever hear her mention any other game unless a customer asks a question.
  • Mom: She likes Call of Duty, so what?
  • Me: She thinks she's special for liking it.
  • Mom: I don't get it
