Great, Now I Want A Pie.

Dear Popo:

Dustin is playing Fable, a video game.  I’m not exactly sure what the point is – but I do know he has to fight his brother, who is apparently a badass.  The following are actual conversations we’ve had surrounding Fable.

Dustin: Last night I spent an hour making pies. I make really good pies. I sold so many pies I was able to buy land.  Now I’m a land baron.  I am worth so much money.
Me: Is that the point of the game?
Dustin: No….but the money will come in handy when I want to buy weapons. 
Me: Or you want to retire?  It’s interesting to me that you can’t shed your actual personal characteristics when playing a video game….maybe you should make pies in reality, see if that works out for you.

Kiki walks in to living room and watches Dustin fight the big boss.

Me: What is that you’re wearing? You look like a pirate.
Dustin: Hang-on I’m fighting the big boss.
Me: Is that a dog following you around? Whose dog is that?
Dustin: It’s my dog. He’s my friend, like Eli.  (Dustin kills big boss). I’m dressed this way because I forgot to change after the masquerade ball.
Me: What? (Laughing uncontrollably)
Dustin: And this guy is my friend, who is now blind and I have to lead him out.  (His character grabs his friend’s hand).
Me: That’s so sweet.  Look at you guys holding hands, and your little dog to.
Dustin: Yep, we can hold hands in this game.

Love, Katie
