Just for fun
Me: "Should I be worried that you built a graveyard in your front yard?"
Evyn: "Oh I just did that for fun!"

There's no toilets in Minecraft
From 7-9am this morning my son created a mansion (in Minecraft).
Andy: The first floor is a concert room with a stage. The second, third and fourth floor is actually the second floor, and here's why. The second-second floor is a movie theater built on a slant. The second-third floor is a kitchen and guest room. The second-fourth floor is MY ROOM!
Me: So where's your bathroom? People in your concert room will need to go?
Andy: *looks at me with head down and eyes up* It's Minecraft, Mom.
P.S.
Funny thing - I left out the follow-up conversation we had about what you actually do on toilet in Minecraft. It may not be a good Saturday morning conversation, but it is a typical convo with a 10-year-old boy. LOL

Diamond Rain--the mod, the myth, the legend
Bryce: "Oh. My. Gosh. I just tapped the ground with a stick and diamonds fell down!!" Drags his tablet over to me. "I'll show you! Here--try it!! See? Diamonds!!"
Bryce: "Oh, no!! I don't have room for all my diamonds! I need a chest!"
Bryce: "I could easily build a house of diamonds. I have so much diamonds I need a new chest. Diamond Rain works. Totally. That's why it's called Diamond Rain. I could do this FOREVER. Just...diamonds galore!"
Bryce, singing: "Diamond rain, diamond rain, diamond raaaaaaain!" Regular voice, "Diamonds are awesome. The tree mod is also awesome. Pandora's Box is similar to lucky blocks."
Me: ???
Bryce: "Oh, dang. The Pandora's Box doesn't work. I'll have to find another. Oh, good. Golden Iron Rain works."

Minecraft + siblings = funny
Kid 2: "I can't hear you! Can you say it in Minecraft?"
Kid 2, laughing gleefully: "I'm watching you die!!"
Kid 1: "I'm coming for you!!"
B: "You're suicide-ing!" *pause* Sounding annoyed, "As usual, you survived."
H: How'd you do that?!
B: It's easy. I have the magic touch.
Me: In what?
B: Parkour.
Me: Only in Minecraft...
B to H: I'm watching you fall to your death! HA! You suicided.
Me: :/
B: Hey, can I hit you back? Wait--where'd you go? You've angered me. I'm jumping in lava.
Thus ended last night's playing.
