I do. I am currently playing "Little Big Planet 2" and it is captivating. My six-year-old grandson, Zach, runs circles around me on this game, but I still have fun and that is the whole point.
What type of Video Game system do you have?

Xbox 360 and an older Nintendo (not sure which version) which seldom gets used.
Do you prefer computer games or TV-based video games?

I haven't got a game system and don't play TV-based video games, so I'll have to say computer games.

Have you ever sneaked into a place where you weren't supposed to be?

Post by annavandenhazel on Jul 23, 2011 21:23:20 GMT -6
True, although I didn't exactly "sneak". My grandpa was nearing the end thanks to a lifelong smoking habit (he was 75), and had been transferred from our nearest hospital 20 miles away to one close to my mom's brother, about 85 miles away. The day before he passed away, my mom and grandma and I drove up to the hospital, which required all visitors to be age 14 and up. I was 3 months away from being 14 but my mom said "you look 14" so I walked right in with her and Grandma and no one said anything. Nowadays they'd probably demand an ID, but it seems like most hospitals around here done have that sort of age limitation either.
Have you ever gotten in trouble for being in a place where you weren't supposed to be?

Yes, on a hot summer day some friends and I ignored the "No Swimming" signs posted at a reservoir. We got caught by the park police and had to pay a fine.
