Momatt Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Last night this was me and my son talking. "No son I will not play watch discuss or attempt to understand minecraft ( a computer game). I will however help you make a pick tomorrow and you can go mine gold in the creek or other peoples yards, but I get 1/3 of the gold. He shrewdly bargained me down to half the gold ( we better practice fractions). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 He'll remember this his entire life and someday when he's thinking about what nursing home to put you in; he'll strike gold in "Fast Turnaround Acres". When I was around 4 I hunted for gold in our side yard in New Providence NJ---found coal as the house used to be heated with a coal furnace and the ashes dumped into the "garden" .

Frosty Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 That's one terrific Father Son day Matt! That sir is the smile of probably the ONLY kid on the planet with a REAL mining pick playing the game. Better still, HE helped his DAD make it themselves!Not only will he never forget it and the day, he'll tell his kids, grandkids, etc. It's the birth of an heirloom and a great family tale.Frosty The Lucky.

Dogsoldat Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Like the pick! Better come over and hang out with the wife, she's not into Minecraft. Me and the girls and the neighbours boy on the other hand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Einhorn Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Now you just need to plant some Pyrite around the yard for him to find. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norrin_radd Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) That is really cool. Great looking pick, just hope he doesn't want the next one to be made from diamonds! (a high level minecraft pick) Great way to keep him interested, keep up the good work. Edited March 16, 2015 by norrin_radd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
