Video games have never elicited that kind of response in any child that I have ever witnessed. I think your son was having a blast with his new friend. I hope he is invited back over to play.


BTW....a Mother sitting in the garage watching TEENAGERS "play" is almost unheard of these days. I think you ought to ENCOURAGE this friendship instead of discourage!

Of course he loved it!! I have gone out there and played with my 4 kids also in the rain. It's alot of fun. Been there, done that!! He is going to be invited back to play. And I will let him. The boys he was playing with are nice kids. I didn't say anything to her and I didn't make a big deal over it to him. She wasn't sitting in the garage. She must have just come out for something because she waved and went back in through the side garage door.
