I just had a similar experience as flutterbys. The dad in one of my games was going to send me an email, sat down at the computer and suddenly started taking a nap. I guess emailing me bored him!!
I also just had a cute action in another game. My family's 16 year old son decided he wanted to cook like mommy
EDIT:
I came back a little later and found the same son, now 17 "driving like daddy" so I really don't know what to think of the boy at this point.
