I am in the kitchen doing dishes, Podlet a few feet away reading books. With no warning she scrambles to her feet and runs across the room (which I could hear, though not see) yelling “Oww! Ow! Mum-mum! Ow!” She doesn’t sound hurt, but that’s not something a mom is designed to ignore. I dash into the living room to find her urgently pointing to the computer screen, where my (Lord of the Rings Online) loremaster is in a battle stance while her pet mauls four goblins at once. Now, my loremaster is a level 68 in a 30-something area, so my pet has no issue taking them, but Podlet doesn’t know that. Kid just warned me that I got mobbed. She totally has my cyber-back. I am a proud gamer mom.
