alex, like many young people his age, enjoys watching youtube videos of colorful people playing video games. because he shares the computer space with his brother and sister (in our computer cafe) he wears headphones while watching. what i hear when i'm in the neighboring kitchen doing dishes or making dinner are his titters and giggles. i understand his desire to watch these videos and i think it's something he could do all day if we'd let him. i understand this because listening to alex laugh and chortle is something i could do all day, every day were the world to allow it.
