- An inability to think about anything without thoughts of video games intruding.
- An inability to listen to any rock song on the radio without imagining how it would be played on Guitar Hero or Rock Band.
- Lack of awareness of any bodily functions such as need to urinate, hunger, thirst, fatigue, or body temperature while playing a game.
- Scheming how you can get your children to bed by 5:30 so you can play video games.
- Complaining that your friends forced you to watch 2 episodes of Flight of the Conchords during an 8 hour Rock Band session. (I don't care if it was funny.)
I know I'm not the only one with an easily diagnosed case... Admit it!

why do i have a feeling we're going to be reading a post ranting about the meddlers at the Vermont Department of Children and Families in about a month.
"ma'am, where are your child's pants?"
"shhhh, i always screw up going into the bridge"
"ma'am, please, put the controller down, it's time to.....is that a bucket full of urine you're standing over?"
"i haven't had a chance to dump it into the toilet yet. could you move, i can't see what i'm doing!"
"your children appear to be subsisting on old Halloween candy and half-empty cans of Red Bull. when was the last time they saw a doctor?"
"you're going to be seeing the doctor if you mess me up during 'Holiday in Cambodia'!"
etc., etc.
If I've said this once I've said it a million times set the clocks ahead. The children can't argue with a clock. So it's sunny in January. They'll never know.
the kids won't be eating old halloween candy. i ate that the last time i was over!!
it was good, too.
