About two weeks ago, my 4 year old son was watching me play COD2.
Actually he does more than watch, he gets out his nerf gun and helps me shoot the bad guys.
Anyway, I was chatting with someone on vent and the subject of hacking came up.
Someone was on the server calling everyone who killed him a hacker.
I was telling the guy on vent how I couldn't wait until PB was added to the game so I wouldn't have to listen to everyone accusing other players of hacking.
My son asked " Whats a hacker?"
I told him it's someone who cheats in the game.
He didn't really say anything , just went back to shooting people with his nerf gun.
Are you wondering where this is going???
Tonight my son and I where playing with the new Hot Wheel's race track that SANTA brought.
We were having a 10 lap race.
I was letting him win ( really I was )
The track has a spot where cars cross in front of each other.
Right before he was about to win the race, we both hit the crossover at the same time.
My car knocked his off the track.
He gives me a dirty look, throws down his controller and runs into the kitchen where my wife is.
I hear him tell my wife "I'm not racing daddy any more"
She ask "Why not?"
Nick replies "Because he's a hacker"
After hearing this I'm just busting a gut.
Now as I'm sitting here typing this, I have to wonder if during any of the little games they play in preschool.
If Nick has gotten mad because he was losing a game & runs to the teacher calling the other kid a hacker.
Now there's probably some poor little Innocent kid in my sons preschool class with the reputation of hacking in games like
chutes and ladders or maybe candyland.
