This is one of my favorite pictures because you know all that kid's friends are all "your mom is the coolest! She plays Gameboy and my mom just yells at me to clean my room!" And then Gameboy Mom makes them ants on a log or like cracker barrel cheese and crackers for a snack.
I feel like there's a whole slice of the millennial generation that lived this exactly. I did eventually get my Game Boy back from my mom and big sister but it took a while.
I was ace at super mario land for the gameboy. I still remember my joy the first time I decided to play it again immediately after winning and discovering it was harder.
Well the latter half of the levels is pretty tough as I recall. Had problems getting there. (Though as I recall, the biggest problem with Game Boy games was the battery consumption. Kids these days have no idea.)
The final level, however? Easy easy. Epic airplane fun.
Hope she handed the Game Boy to the kids once she got there! Because who doesn't like blasting shit up with a plane!
