Thanks to one of the amazing people who live in my computer, there are about 20 Operation games awaiting delivery to Center for Victims for Christmas Crazy. (Want to add something to that pile of awesomeness? Here is the link.) I haven't played Operation in approximately forever, so of course seeing it made me want to play. Even more so, I was all, "THE GIRLS WILL LOOOOVE THIS!" It's a game that, in theory, both the 3-year old and 11-year old can play, so WOOOO!
I ran out and bought a copy.
Alexis was appropriately enthused. She busted into that box and was ready to cure the red-nosed naked dude. Mila was also enthused right up until ... OMG THE GAME MAKES NOISE.
Okay, so I remembered that. I knew that. I expected that to be considered a feature in Mila's eyes. But nope, she thinks it's a bug. She was all sorts of mad that the game was making noise. She demanded that the playing stop, covered her ears, and was basically a grandma yelling, "GET OFF MY LAWN, WHIPPERSNAPPERS.'
I realize that's Alexis' job. Mila didn't get the memo.
Of course, nobody stopped playing just because Mila turned into a cantankerous old lady. Eventually she figured out that she should go find something different to do because sitting there and being annoyed wasn't really working out for her. Fast forward a few days. We left the game sitting out because we are slobs like that. Mila happened upon our mess and took matters into her own hands.
I found the game back in the box and shoved in the trash.
When I tried to take it out, Mila starting screeching, "NO! THAT'S GARBAGE!"
Are there other games that make annoying noises? Because I am all in on this making Mila act like grandma thing.
