Game (20 points)
Some people said that before having a baby, you should learn how to take care of an animal or plant first. For this time only we will do the things the other way around! You will first learn how to take care of a baby before having a pet! That is because pets are like eternal babies as they will always need you to take care of them, no matter how old they are!
What I want you to do for this part of the assignment is to play the following game: http://www.freearcade.com/Kindergarten.flash/Kindergarten.html and tell me, in no less than 150 words, what was your experience playing this game. Do you feel ready to take care of a pet?
