Parents and computers...

We all know that computers can drive you crazy but recently a Parent in Fla shot at it while his son was playing games on it. The parent thought the son spent too much time on the computer and not enough on house work. One could argue that there are better ways to handle this situation but that is just me.

Below is the story.......I think Will Smith said it best "parents just don't understand....."

Dad shoots at computer, saying son spends too much time playing games
]Dunedin, Florida] - A Dunedin dad probably made his point about his son spending too much time on the computer. Pinellas Sheriff's deputies say he shot at the monitor as his son sat near-by. Forty-four-year-old Joseph Langenderfer was arrested Monday afternoon at his home on Frances Street.
His 22-year-old son Tim called 911, saying he and his dad were arguing and his dad had just shot at him.
The older Langenderfer reportedly told deputies he was mad that his son had not done the laundry and was spending all his time playing games on their computer. He told deputies that although he told his son he was going to shoot the computer, the gun accidentally fired.
The bullet hit the wall about three feet from where the son was sitting.
Langenderfer is in the Pinellas County jail charged with one count of attempted murder, (accused of trying to kill his son, not the computer.)
