The Beeping Game


The game on the TV makes beeping noises. It’s bright and colorful with moving pictures of robots. Sometimes it stops beeping and shows numbers instead. When I push buttons on the controller, different things happen in the game. If I press the red button, a robot shoots a laser at another one. But if I miss or don’t press fast enough, the game says “Beep!” and gives me a sad face. Then I have to try again by pushing harder or differently. The screen gets all sparkly when it’s working right, but sometimes it goes dark and the buttons stop working. I like seeing the robots move around and fight, even though I get upset when they get hurt.
