The day I found out my son is more dwarfy than I am
« on: December 25, 2015, 09:39:03 pm »

Story time-
Our family is sitting around watching a movie while I play dwarf fortress. I mention to my oldest son "Oh look, a chinchilla." My son declares that I need to capture one and start a zoo. This really wasn't anything that I'd been thinking about doing so I'm not ready in anyway for such a task. I mention that I don't have any cages, I'm not sure how I'm going to round them up and so on. And as I continue to make excuses for how this isn't going to happen I finally just look at him and say "I don't have anything I could use to build the zoo with."

With an expression of pure confusion clearly aware of something I've missed my son looks at me and says "You have dwarfs."

A golden prodigy, no doubt. When do you plan to indoctrinate the child?

Always rough when your son 1ups you

He's right, too.  So long as you have dwarves and a pickaxe things you can make a pickaxe with, you can eventually make a zoo.

Here, have a link.
