All the Video Game Consoles I’ve Ever Owned in Chronological Order, Pt. 3 of 4

Second inaccuracy was where I estimated that I was ‘4 or 5’ years of age in a picture of me using a computer [in Part 1]. She says I was ‘like 2 or 3’, suggested I might want to correct it so that everyone would know I was an “impressive” child.
When Barack Obama was elected my mother thought his speechwriter was “impressive”/hot, she called me up to suggest I date him. My reply was something to the effect of “Mom, okay Mom, I will ‘get on that’ right now.” And she said “but you could” or something. Then Barack Obama’s speechwriter turned out to be dating a gorgeous model.
