Today we live virtually, SIM lives, through the computer rather than directly living. Sounds heavy, but it's mostly just for fun.
My daughters and wife love this game. I was poking gentle fun at them, but making a point about life too.
Cruising with the Sims
Hey, the house is trashy,
Life is just a mess.
But a loser sometimes finds a way to win:
Tonight Im living large,
Tonight Im making money,
Happiness is just a click away,
with the Sims!
They took my kid away,
Cause she stayed home every day:
Dont think that she ever got to school.
But a new job any way,
And a big increase in pay!
While we watch my brother drowning in the pool:
with the Sims!
The red line lets you know,
When your happiness is low,
And the spinney diamond says that Im okay,
If a thief breaks in well grin,
We know how to care for him,
Its nice to let the real world go away:
and be a Sim!
