No Frog Left Behind

All right, that’s it. I told you what would happen if I found another encyclopedia hidden under your mattress. No more Didj for a week.

Don’t bother begging. Maybe after a week without solving any addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problems with the included Jet Pack Heroes game, you’ll knuckle down and get serious about your responsibilities around here. Have you even looked at all those Ultimate Fighting bouts on the TiVo? Or even one episode of Hurl? No, I didn’t think so.

You better not even think about creating any custom spelling lists or playing any of the rest of the extensive line of Didj learning games (sold separately). Don’t even touch the styling skins or the jelly case. If your father and I find you using your Didj to sharpen your math, spelling, and language skills and totally ignoring the TV, well, little mister, don’t think we won’t wash your mouth out with the DVD box set of season 2 of VH1’s I Love Money. That’ll be a lesson you won’t forget.

Now, you know, your father and I approve of things like unlocking exclusive downloads and earning badges for in-game achievements. But not if it means you’re going to learn something. So while you’re taking this little vacation from your Didj, you better find some other video games to play instead of wasting time reading books or something. You’ll thank us when you get older.
