Killing Some Terrorists....

That is a horrible name for a post. but it fits perfectly for the horrible game! Dave is addicted to a video game...I can't even remember what the dumb thing is called. I always call it "War of Worlds" which is totally wrong and Dave always is so fast to correct me! I could go look in my bedroom (yes I said bedroom!!! that is where is plays of all places) to see the name of the stupid game that has TAKEN over my husbands life...but I am to lazy! Dave always says "honey I am killing some terrorists" so that is what we will call the crazy game that I have come accustomed to.  I know he is not alone, he plays with anyone and everyone(even the neighborhood kids), and it has come up in topic of conversation where other people says they have husbands/boyfriends addicted to it to!!
So, my whole point of the post is to share this hilarious story that sums up my life perfectly!!

Dave had just come home from work and Elsie wouldn't take her second nap. I was loosing my patients and had to get some stuff done that I couldn't do with the little miss who thinks she needs to do everything she sees me doing. I gave elsie to Dave and asked if he would watch her for a few minutes while I checked my RE emails. Two minutes later I see him hooking up the stupid play station in our room.. whatever he can do what he wants. I reminded him to watch Elsie. Another two minutes go by and she is crying on the floor. I can hear him putting her up on the bed. Of course all she wants to do it crawl to the edge so to distract her he gives her his head set. He yells for me to look at her and this is what I see...

Dave's dream... he is convinced Elsie will be "the coolest little girl who will want to do everything her dad love to do"..ie play video games and golf!

So I take some pictures and go back to do what I am trying to get done. 30 seconds later I hear Dave yelling "Heather she ate it" Elsie is notorious for trying to eat EVERTHING!! I go in and ask what he is talking about. He tells me that she was playing with the foam part of the microphone and he is positive that by the time he noticed she had it and he heard her swallow it. Okay so the foam thing is not that big, but it is probably the size of a big olive. Instantly I tell him she would be choking if she had. No he tells me he is 100% positive he heard and saw her swallow it. I call the doctor just in case (Elsie has a history of choking and last time they thought she may have had something in her lungs that could cause her is aspirate, so I am a little paranoid), thinking he would just say oh don't worry. Oh no, the doctor on call tells me that this could be a real problem and to have a plan incase she starts to have trouble swallowing liquid, in that case she would need to go the ER and get it removed if it was stuck in her throat. Oh great! Mind you that while all of this is going on Dave is STILL playing his game like nothing is happening. I tell him what the doctor said and asked him to give her a drink and see what she does. Oh no, he still is playing. He tells me its almost over. After I  mention the ER, he gets right up and grabs her a drink. Now apparently he is worried. She acts fine and so I told him to still keep and eye on her. Meanwhile I facebook about this and get 11 comments in 30 seconds. Everyone guys thinks it hilarious, they are even asking for his screen name to play together! 

Ten minutes go by, Dave is still playing his game when all of the sudden he yells " I found it!!" I go in there and ask what he is talking about. I walk in to see him holding the foam part that he was so convinced Elsie swallowed!!

What  a dork!

I told him he is a great dad and always makes sure Elsie has fun, but if he were her only parent she would not survive!!
