One day I returned home from work and went upstairs where my son was busy playing Nintendo.  He was so intense that only after five or six “hello Dylan’s” did he finally respond with “hey dad!”  I told him to come downstairs to eat dinner and he said he was busy playing his game.  When I shared with him that he could do that later he said he could eat while playing (another multi-tasker).  I said that he had played enough and that life was not only about playing Nintendo.  He responded that if it was his life and he enjoyed playing then why could it not be about just playing Nintendo?  I did to him what my father did to me and his to him and said “because I said so, now do what I said or I’ll _______!”  What I really thought was how wonderful it would be to live “life in Nintendo!”  How cool would it be if every moment in our life would be like his experience playing Nintendo?  I suspect one day we will all look back and wonder how much time was squandered engaging in activities that were anything but “playing Nintendo!”  It was at that moment about six years ago (he is now 15) that I realized the importance of “living in Nintendo!”  The biggest problem I have now is that I am so focused in each interaction and experience that others find it impossible at times to get my attention.  As a result, my sense of time tends to lapse causing an issue with my promptness.  So you see, with one strength comes an inherit weakness and a new set of challenges to address!
