I am a veteran of online games at this point - yet the child consistently outperforms me in ToonTown online.

I think my problem is that I look at my health and level of gags and I play cautiously. I don't jump into battle with something I think will probably take my gags and send me sadly back to the playground. My daughter, on the other hand, jumps into any battle and takes her chances. She has helped reclaim a number of buildings from the cogs at this point. She fearlessly wanders the various cog HQ areas looking around.

Today she showed me that she has filled her cog gallery - she's killed at least one of every cog in the game. She's working on a cog suit now so she can go to the clubhouse and talk to the other cogs. I know this clubhouse is in one of the cog HQ areas but I couldn't find it on my own if my life depended on it.

I love listening her talk to herself while she plays ToonTown. She narrates the battles. She shouts comments to other players (which they can't hear, since she's talking at the computer). All in all, she has a great time.
