"That kind of guy."

I just had a fairly amusing conversation with my ex. We'd had an agreement with Aidan that, once he met a certain milestone, he'd get a copy of HeroScape. I have a copy myself, and Aidan really likes it - you get to build terrain out of plastic bits, and then play on it with little guys, and he's vastly amused by the entire process. I'd been in that area yesterday - went to Zombie Planet yesterday and everything, though really for a different reason - and offered to buy it (we agreed to pay half each), but she was oddly hesitant, saying she'd rather get it herself. I didn't worry too much. So I get a call today as she's leaving Zombie Planet, asking if there were other stores in the area that may have it, suggesting she might buy it online; I asked why, knowing ZP happened to have a copy of one of the starter sets. Her problem, apparently, was that the master set there was the Dungeons and Dragons master set (as opposed to the more Norse-themed one I have, the alien-themed one after it, or the super-hero-themed one that came out after that). She said it didn't seem appropriate for someone his age, so I asked why. She said she "wanted him to have a good grasp on reality." When I asked her if she was trying to suggest she should get the super-hero one instead of the D&D one because it was more realistic, she sounded very insulted and just said "No. I just don't want him to become that kind of guy."

I suppose I should probably be insulted, but honestly, I just think it's funny.
