Wake up Christmas morning with an eager start. 7-8 years old<\/p>\n

Get a Gameboy Color, Pokemon Blue.<\/p>\n

New Year’s Eve Party. Pop-Pop’s depression. What’s wrong with Pop-Pop?<\/p>\n

Interact with Uncle: “Men don’t hug.”
\n– Give him a hug. He needs a hug.
\n– Shake his hand and chuckle politely
\n– “I’m 8 years old.”
\n– “You’re 8 years old.”
\n– “What? What did you just say?”
\n– Nothing.
\n– You heard me bitch
\n– I’m 8 years old.
\n– Oh ok, yes, you certainly are.<\/p>\n

Are you remembering this correctly? Are you sure?
\n– Of course
\n– Rosy at best<\/p>\n

Family clatter drowns out the sound of dead air. But your Pop-Pop sits in it, in the back-room. He’s reading a book. He looks like he’s sleeping.<\/p>\n

Fight\/Defeat your Pop-Pop’s Depression. What will you do? You have 5 minutes before he forgets your name and checks out mentally. Wisely choose one of the following.
\n– Feed him Anti-Depressants (“Here comes the train!!!” You say in a slow, condescending tone of voice. “Yummy!” He looks satiated.)
\n– Talk it through
\n– Sing him a song, or have him sing with you (karaoke competition lure\/ruse minigame, “Order the 3-cheese crab dip” (9.99))
\n– Give him his Bible and Rosary (Minigame as Pop-Pop trying to get in the line of the priest to receive communion)
\n– Use a sword (medieval fantasy boss-fight minigame) (Tristwch, Welsh for sadness)
\n– The nymph smile is so happy that it looks like a frown.
\n– I’m 8 years old (flashback or flash forward)<\/p>\n

Do they still look at you the same way? Can they?<\/p>\n

Can they still look at you like the way they did in pictures? Like the way they look at old pictures now?<\/p>\n

Certainly, a lot of time has passed. Did you spend it or waste it?<\/p>\n

Wake up first day of January, older. Get out of bed:
\n– Get out of bed
\n– Roll over
\n– Snooze<\/p><\/div>\n
