It's not their fault

Earlier today my dad was teaching me how to steam crabs. (As if i haven't had enough crabs this year.) I was sprinkling on the seasoning. I ACCIDENTALLY dropped a little too much on one crab and he yells at me (and I quote) "If you weren't always playing those damn video games and that computer you'd know this already." Honestly I fealt like throwing that seasoning in eyes but I respect my elders and obey the 4th Commandment. It's how I was brought up. But what cooks my meatballs is that he blames all of his problems on electronics he doesn't understand such as Video Games, the Computer, iPods, etc. I swear if the president was shot he would've said "Oh. It's all because of those damn video games. That's where they got the idea."

1: IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!
2: He was TEACHING me how to steam crabs.
3: He needs to get with the times.

If more people treated video games like works of art instead of disposable entertainment, things like this wouldn't happen.

Video games are just the most recent in a string of new things that get the blame for various unreleated problems. Ref: jazz, movies, rock, TV, etc.

/me finds a mushroom, eats it and kicks Alex's dad.

Let's see him blame video games for that.
