Never put on the necklace

My favorite part of our kids gaming party: the older boys playing Pathfinder in the back room. I overhear little snippets of their game that immediately take me back to fifth grade.

DM: “You find a necklace with an oversized, clear gem. Magic swirls inside the stone. Do you put it on?”

It took all my strength to not yell, “Never put on the necklace!!!”

UPDATE: For all those of you who asked, yes, he put on the necklace and it tried to strangle him. I repeat… never put on a necklace you find in a dungeon!

Without us?

My Wonderful Wife: “You kids are going to Parent’s Night Out on Saturday.”

Little Miss Thing (age 5): “Why?”

WW: “So Daddy and I can go on a date.”

LMT: “Why?”

WW: “So we can spend time together and see a movie.”

LMT: “WHY?”

WW: “Because we love each other and like spending time together.”

LMT: “Without US?”
