My Little Pony

When my nephew was six years old, we would sometimes play video games together. I tried to make sure he only played age appropriate games, like driving games. I hated that the best driving game ever was certainly not "age appropriate", because of the other things you could do in the game. That game, of course, was Grand Theft Auto. I realized that I could circumvent all of the inappropriate actions in the game, and just introduce him to the unmatched driving physics of the game. Physics so realistic, that you can actually perfect your real life sport driving from this game.

After some time of playing it, he asked what the game was called. I didn't want him to let it slip to the adults that I've been allowing him to play Grand Theft Auto, so I quickly replied "My Little Pony", thinking that would be a very acceptable game title for him to be playing, if he were to mention it to any adult. Also, My Little Pony was before his time, and he had never heard of it. For months after that, he would constantly talk about "My Little Pony", as it was the most fun driving game he had ever encountered. Every time my nephew would talk about My Little Pony, I would have a little chuckle.
