The One with the Blue Shorts
ByKid A (age 3): “Which character are you, daddy?”
Me: “I’m Akuma. The one with the, um, red hair?”
Kid A: “Which character is the other player, daddy?”
Me: “He’s Sagat, honey: the one with the blue shorts.”
In-game Announcer: “Fight!”
Kid A: “…”
Kid A: “Come on daddy: you can do it!”
30 seconds pass. Daddy doesn’t do it.
Kid A: “Dad?”
Me: “…yes?”
Kid A: “I think maybe next time you should be the one with the blue shorts.”
