At The Chicken's bus stop this morning:
Carrie (a neighborhood girl): Have you heard of soakem?
Me: Soak 'em?
Carrie: No, SOCOM!
Me: SOCOM?
Carrie: Yeah.
Me: The video games?
Carrie: Yeah.
Me: Yeah, I know SOCOM.
Carrie: SOCOM II is a really good game. It's a war game.
Me: You play SOCOM?
Carrie: Yeah.
Me: And your parents are ok with that?
Carrie: Yeah.
Me: Umm… ok.
What the hell is wrong with Carrie's mom? She's letting her six year-old daughter play a graphic military simulator, which by the way is rated "M for Mature (17+)."
