A couple of weeks ago our best friend reported that her son-in-law had been called by his bank telling him that someone had been taking money out of his account. After some rather quick checking, it was determined that his 4 year-old son and his 8 year-old daughter were playing games on their mothers iPhone. One was buying feathers for his virtual eagle, the other was buying bones for her virtual dog.
I'm not sure the parents ever fully appreciated the humor of this, but it is not too unusual, apparently.

Well, maybe it's time to take the electronic games away from the little ones and give them pen, paper, crayons, blunt end scissors, etc and encourage them to use their imaginations.
