Ok, so I don't BLOG very much about the kids since the wife's BLOG is so much better at that but this just blew my mind... Now I've heard about WebKinz before and thought it was an odd concept and luckily I won't have to deal with that for a while. I also kind of get virtual worlds even though I don't participate (who has the time!!!!). Heck, I even played D&D as a kid which was basically the same thing as World of Warcraft but 20+ years ago.
Anyway... we're at the dinner table and my FOUR year old starts talking about WebKinz. I guess one of her friends she plays with from preschool has one. Lynn in her typical better parent mold just starts asking non-judgmental questions. Angie goes off for a few minutes and perfectly describes what a virtual world is and what you do and why its fun. My jaw hit the ground... Maybe I should start checking to make sure this girl doesn't have a myspace page already. UGH!!!!
The world is a very different place now than when I was four I guess. Luckily the wife and I aren't technical idiots (yet!) and might have a chance to guide here on her choices... And I thought I didn't have to start worrying until she started dating!!!!
