Boys Will Be Boys…

Last weekend, Ryan was in town for a wedding.
Of course, James had to get his Ryan fix. So, we went to lunch on Sunday. 
And then the boys played Halo: ODST for a few hours, until Ryan had to drive back to Houston.
As for me, I pestered them by taking photos and asking dumb questions.
Like…
Why are there always skulls and blood and gore in the games you play?
‘Cause it’s cool.
And why is your hair sticking up in the back?
Leave my hair alone!
 Who’s on top… you or Ryan? **giggle giggle**
I’m on top…
 
So Ryan likes to be on bottom? **giggle giggle**
Very mature.
So, what’s the point of this game?
To kill all the bad guys.
Isn’t that the point of *every* game?
And your point?
I like your shirt.
I know…you bought it for me for Christmas.
(It says “I aim to misbehave.” – Serenity … yay Captain Mal!)
Sometimes, it’s so hard to have an intelligent conversation with boys when they’re gaming.
Sigh.
And yes – that is a package in the background for $180 noise-canceling headphones
Oh, the irony.
One of the best things about being a Nerd’s Wife is the chance to irritate your hubby as he tries to play games.

Haha the gamer's P2 (his best friend) is named Ryan – your comments are seriously identical to things I say to them all the time! So funny! :)

I totally know the "face" in that last pic all too well. Hilarious.

You can talk to them all you want, but they are not paying attention. Ever!

I,ve seen those faces sevearl times over the years as I watch (an continue to do so) my DH and his friend play "shoot and kill" games. Which to me they all seem the same.

I wasn't going to comment here but I had to say that I LOVE your photos! You seem to have talent for framing mundane subjects very artful in photos. What type of camera do you use?

I found you through the book blog hop, by the way :D

Thanks, Emma!

I have a Canon Digital Rebel XS. I'm still learning how to shoot with it, but I think I've gotten a lot better since I first started. :)
