Minecraft

The hobbitlings love playing Minecraft.  The Mayor, despite his love of LEGOs, still doesn't get the pixelly attraction of the game; after all, wasn't the whole point of computer advancement to get away from the pixelly look?  Anyhow, the sharing of Minecraft worlds has led to some interesting and hilarious conversations.  Two that were overheard today:
 
S: Daddy, look!  I shot all the animals in this world with my bow!
E: Oh no, Seimi!  That was my farm world!  Seimi, I wanted those animals!
[30 minutes later, after Seimi attempted to repair the damage, then gave the world back to Ela]
D: Ela, why are you going around killing all the animals?
E: [sigh] Seimi tried to help me by putting animals back in my world, but he didn't put any in the pastures, so now I have to go get rid of all the cows that are filling my library and dining room and formal garden areas and put them back inside the gates.
 
The Mayor later asked Ela why she was going around adding a whole bunch of water to a world.
E: Seimi lit a whole bunch of his world on fire and now he needs my help to make sure everything doesn't burn up.
S: [grinning] I like catching things on fire!
