Why the hell are 3-year-olds asking for consoles?

When I was three all my dad did was tell me to get a job.
You were lucky. We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down t' mill, fourteen hours a day, week-in week-out, for sixpence a week, and when we got home our Dad would thrash us to sleep wi' his belt.

Tell that to the young people today, they won't believe you.

Anyway, i suppose its not that weird if toddlers want handheld gaming consoles. It has buttons and is perfectly chewable. What would be weird is if they actually get one from their parents.

Let your spirit be free
The last time kids were kids was in 1996. After that, they become fat, short, greedy and uglier with every consequent batch.
The kids and parents are slave to the media, am I right? What they see is what they want! If hate it, control what your kid is exposed to. If he/she gets exposed to porn and bad media (which is unfortunately called "freedom" nowdays)...don't panic if your child starts asking about the "freedom" as well.

Pffft, wimps. I saw plenty of movies and stuff on TV (or parts of) that wasn't aimed at children and it didn't harm me. The few fads I did get caught up in were, like, pokemon and pogs (I was 5 at the time for pogs). Although as a kid I was highly against anything sexual

Isn't there a third one? I'd forgotton about these and they are hilarious!
The one where they live in a cardboard box in the middle of the road, go to bed at 4AM, get up at 3AM and work 26 hours a day ?
Can't remember the exact line, but yeah, good times
Damn, where is that 'Live at the Hollywood bowl' tape ?
And where is my VCR ?

When I was around 5 I had a Sega Genesis and a load of games. That thing was great. I wonder what happened to it.

I think it's mostly a young kid thing. They want things that are too advanced for them because it looks cool. It happened to me when I said I wanted one of the early Lego Technic model kits when I was like 5. My folks told me that it was too hard for me but I said it wasn't. So they got it for me and it was too hard for me. It was only until I was 15 that I found the instructions and managed to build it from my bucket o Lego.
