I know we’re supposed to share in our kids’ passions but I just can’t get behind the Minecraft craze. Today was one of Bode’s technology days and he love nothing more than to download his version of allll the excitement to me after he has finished playing. Today, however, I perked up because his tutelage had a Mother’s Day theme.
As an FYI, cows roam the Minecraft Overworld, usually in herds of 4 to 10. If a cow is killed, it will drop 0 – 2 pieces of leather, 1 – 3 pieces of raw beef, and 1 – 3 experience. If the cow died while on fire, it will drop steak rather than raw beef and will only drop experience in this case if the player has hit it or started the fire. Killing a calf will give you nothing.
Got it? Yeah, me neither.
“Mom, I’m attacking cows. But not the ones with babies.”
“That’s nice of you, kind of like honoring them for Mother’s Day?”
“Yes, it would be sad to kill the cows because then the babies wouldn’t have mothers.”
“You’re so thoughtful.”
“As for the babies, I don’t kill them either. I wait for them to grow up AND THEN I’LL ATTACK.”
