Parental Controls

This morning I found my son going back and forth between the computer and the Wii. He would watch a little bit of You Tube video, then click a few times in the settings section of the game console. I asked him what he was doing.

"Oh, I'm getting rid of the parental controls on the Wii."
We bought our Wii used, and so many of the settings we didn't put in place. We wouldn't have put them on in the first place, but hadn't gotten around to taking them off. So, I wasn't upset at all with him, but curious.
"Yeah? Why are you doing that? Is there something it won't let you do?"
"No, not at all. I'm doing it for Dad."
"Really?? How so?"
"The parental controls were annoying him, so I'm fixing it for him."
The eight year-old fixing the parental controls for the adult. Probably not exactly what the good folks at Nintendo had in mind...
