Kids are living in Thrillville.....

Can a person get motion sickness in their recliner in their own family room? The answer is YES!
My son picked out a Wii game for his birthday a couple of months ago but has just recently decided its THE game to play. Its called Thrillville. In this amusement park simulation and management game you are the manager and head ride designer of a chain of amusement parks. You build and ride the roller coasters and other nauseating carnival rides and play all sorts of carnival games. You also amusingly enough hire mechanics, entertainers and cleaning people to work in the park. One of the mini games includes training the cleaning people to vacuum trash and GET THIS!, spray down and clean up VOMIT! This game is quite amusing even to me who sometimes gets drafted in accomplishing the missions it sets to go further in the game. However, my kids love just to go and ride the rides. On our large screen tv, a simulated roller coaster is quite intense. So, Yes you can get nauseated in your own family room.
We have also discovered that our son likes scantily clad girls with blonde pigtails....you wonder what this means? Well when you play the game you get to pick the character, chose their hair color and looks and then their clothing. He ALWAYS wants the character to be a blonde girl with pig tails in a very small cropped shirt, a very short Catholic school girl skirt and knee socks.
We tried to get him to change to a boy but he says no, she's a beautiful priss priss (his word for princess). His daddy tells him to at least put some clothes on her and he changes it only to come back in a few minutes to see that ds has changed it back........Can puberty start at 3?
