Which is better: TV, the computer or the iPad? My favorite thing is computers because they have fun games on them, and I just like playing with the keys.

I like my [Nintendo] DSi because I have a Crafting Mama game, and it’s my favorite game to play with because it has two things to do: You can either make crafts or play with your crafts. I also like to play with my mom’s phone because it has some fun games...and my mom’s iPod because it has songs I like “Another Saturday Night” and “Cheeseburger in Paradise.”
How long are you allowed to play? I get to play for a little while after my homework is done.
