Guitar Hero

My son Daniel is a rockin 4 year old. He is slim and trim with blonde hair that curls at the end. He is rather dashing.

Here he is rocking out.

Look carefully: messy hair, shirtless, Hot Wheels rub-on tattoos, determined look, yeah, he's got it all. He sure looks lots better than I do playing Guitar Hero.

My oldest begs me every day to play Guitar Hero. There are some days that I allow it, but most of the time I don't. Mainly because I'm lazy. He plays on practice mode, and on the slowest setting. It drives me crazy. I think he thinks he has to get a perfect score. That, of course, is not the point of the game.

I have lots of things to do at home besides playing Guitar Hero. My two year old calls me at work and asks me to either take him to Home Depot, or push him on the swings. There are a lot of people that require lots of things from me. But that's the price you pay for being a good dad, I guess. I try to be anyway.
