For instance, when I play my snake game, Mom, it's so cool because sometimes I play a rainbow snake and the snake gets really, really big and it looks AWESOME!
Mom: (I ponder this.) Hmmm. What is that "snake game" you play on your tablet, anyway? What is that called?
Chloe: Oh, SLITHERIO? Yeah, I used to play Agario but now I play Slitherio. I always win.
Mom: What do you mean, you always win?
Chloe: Oh like, when Charlene was playing with me and I slithered her to OBLIVION!
Mom: Oh, okay, you just play with Charlene or whoever.
Chloe: Yeah, and there are like, HUNDREDS of people playing. Last time I won there were 536 people! Sometimes it's more. But that's great because you can eat the other snakes and then your rainbow gets bigger and bigger and bigger! It's the BEST! And your snake is just all over with bright rainbow colors everywhere, and that makes me happy.
Mom: Okay, so, uh... wait now, can you see people's names, like the name of their snake, on the leaderboard?
Chloe: Yeah, sure.
Mom: So what is YOUR name on there, pray tell?
Chloe: Well, you know how my tablet will just let you make words without having to type it all in? So you just put in some letters and then it just MAKES a WORD?! That's what I do! I press something like 'a' and then another letter and see what I get.
Mom: Okay, so, is anyone named NPR on there?
Chloe: Oh yeah, sure, I've seen that one.
Mom: I played this game once and died after like ten seconds. Then I played it again and died after like twelve seconds.
Chloe: [Hysterical laughter.]
[And this is like what I tell my husband: when you play Castle Clash, it is some 4 year old in Seattle you're competing against. My guess is they have a leg up in Slitherio because they have short fingers and such. Faster fingers.]Statistics: Posted by Elle — Thu Jun 23, 2016 10:42 am
