How embarrassing?

Question

I asked a question the other day about getting one of the coins on Super Mario brothers on the ds. Had got most of them but was totally baffled by this one. No-one helped really so I had resigned my self to the fact that this coin was staying where it was. My 7 year old played it earlier and asked why i hadn't got the coin, I told her that i didn't know how to get it and 2 minutes later she passed me the ds and said "there you go Mummy", it wasn't that hard. Oh my God, beaten by a 7 year old again. Think i will give up. Any similar experiences?

Answer 7

Those games are designed for kids and teenagers to play.  If you aren't an avid game player then you won't be familiar !

I remember back when Super Mario brothers came out and I learned the game from watching my younger sisters when I was in my early 20s.  Nothing to be embarassed about.
