Is this what preteen Drew will be like too?

Drew was indoctrinated into the world of video games today. Our 5 year old neighbor brought over his Nintendo DS and Drew was hooked. After dragging him inside kicking and screaming for bedtime, he continued to whine that he wanted a "puter" too.

I gave the standard "Maybe Santa will bring you one" or "Christmas is around the corner" responses, but, as the whining continued on and on, I finally said, "NO! Not today now let's go to bed." With this he slunked into the corner of his room, crossed his arms and said sulkily, "Nobody cares about me." Give me a break.

I can't believe this is happening already. He hasn't even turned three yet, and he's already trying the poor me, guilt trip tactic?! I'm totally floored right now.
