Ask Finnfan Jr. anything!! He's bored out of his mind!

[Pale Blue Dot]

My son, 11, is spending 3 weeks with me. Normally, he's got my fiancee's 4(!!) kids to play with, but she's been working all weekend, so they're not here. I go back to work tomorrow (:puke:), so I'm not in the mood to entertain him.

So can you help me keep him from being bored? One warning: half the time I have no idea what he's talking about, so I can't promise his answers will make any sense.

[Pale Blue Dot]

2. He says "great!"

I hope you enjoyed that in-depth response. :D

[WritingIsMyReligion]

3. Sure did!

;)

Finnfan the Younger, what music do you like? C'mon, pass out some specific examples! :D

6. Good Charlotte, All-American Rejects...

The stuff his dad calls "wuss punk."

[Dear Bastards]

10. Ever spend time in a Turkish prison?

:hi:

[SOteric]

5. Well, sure, he could talk to a bunch of us 'old people.'

Or you could send him to www.popcap.com, or zone.msn.com to play a selection of the age-appropriate free online games. Some of which are even sneakily educational and all of which are loads of fun. :hi:

[Pale Blue Dot]

8. He knows all about those.

He is an 11-year-old boy, after all. Right now he's playing GameBoy.

9. Popcap is a BARREL of fun.

I absolutely love the Wordshark game and Insaniquarium.

:hi:

11. When's the wedding?

[Pale Blue Dot]

16. January.

Somewhere warm, sandy, and quiet. :D :loveya:

[NNadir]

24. Well congratulations to you both.

I'm quite sure that being wonderful people, you'll be very happy together.

18. He's playing video games with his (future) step-brother

So I feel safe saying that for Finnfan Jr., the internet never ends as long as there are more pictures of Christina Aguilera.

[RedCloud]

14. Ask him if likes being a tweenager...

[Pale Blue Dot]

20. His voice is currently cracking like Peter Brady's.

And the little sh*t's almost taller than me! :grr:

[Taverner]

15. How's SB?

[Pale Blue Dot]

21. Right now she has too many clothes on.

Hopefully I can do something about that soon. :D

[Skittles]

17. I am thinking of kicking your dad's ass

good idea? :D

[Pale Blue Dot]

19. He says "heck no!"

I think he's afraid I'd like it too much, and he's getting kind of attached to his future step-mother. :D

[Skittles]

25. OK then ask him to tell us something about you WE DON'T KNOW

and be honest and tell us what he says already :7

[NewJeffCT]

22. Is he as politically astute as his father?

[Pale Blue Dot]

23. Well, George Bush is the punchline to half of his jokes,

but he doesn't really know what he's talking about yet. So far, so good, though.
