Have I Created a Monster?

I asked my husband to watch my poker hand while I went to pull dinner out of the over. Within minutes I'm yelling for him to come and eat. No response. I call for him again. No response. I run back to the living room figuring he's deep into some episode of Family Guy and he's shhh'ing me.

To my surprise he had hijacked my poker game. He was on to a new hand of Texas Hold'em and showed no signs of quitting. I thought he had no interest in gambling. He doesn't belong to any online casinos nor go to the land casino without being dragged. The least I could do was be supportive of his new found love. I cleaned up, put dinner in the fridge and returned with two glasses of wine ready to cheer on his beginners luck.

I sat back and wondered, have I created a monster?
