Here’s hoping this doesn’t distract from the videos… 😂😩 (It won’t - don’t worry.)
The oldest wanted me to show him what Skyrim was like. Booted up a new game for the first time in years. He got bored after 10 mins & left me to it. I’m now hours into a Khajiit mage build that’s doing the College of Winterhold questline… 😹😼 #Skyrim

Dropped the oldest off at his friend's Halloween party. Another kid was dressed as Arthur Morgan from Red Dead Redemption 2. I said "Orthur!" in the way Dutch says his name. Cue very confused-looking kids, as no one got the reference. Oldest says "bye dad," walks in & closes the door. Ugh... 😂😫
