Using a birthday gift card, I bought myself a nice new bluetooth game controller so I can play 30-year-old SNES games on my little #GameDad plugged into the TV

(because sadly the screen is too small for me to comfortably play for long and anyway Final Fantasy III was meant to be played on a TV)

so of course my GameDad battery is so dead right now it won't even turn on

GameDad boots up, connects over BT to the controller--SUCCESS!

Where's the mini-HDMI adapter so I can plug it into the television? ask I of my younger son

"Oh, that got left at Nana's" (on our Georgia road trip last week)

Nice use of the passive voice there, son
