"Yesterday I was all: What&amp;#x27;s with boys behaving badly? Today, between Jimmy Fallon&amp;#x27;s sweet advice to girls and this incredible story I&amp;#x27;m about to share with you, I&amp;#x27;m all: Boys, I take it back. Contrary to the events of yesterday and the patch on my sixth-grade backpack that implied you &amp;quot;drool,&amp;quot; you actually rule. Here we go: A game-designer dad named Mike Mika stayed up all night recently hacking the classic video game Donkey Kong so his three-year-old daughter could win the game as a female character. (The little girl&amp;#x27;s name is Ellis, because everything about this story is amazing.) When you&amp;#x27;ve recovered from your full-on Victorian swoon, come to terms with the fact that this man is not available to marry and procreate with, and crawled back into your chair, take a look at this YouTube clip of the newly feminized game he created. Whereas Mario is usually trying to save his pink-frocked love Pauline from danger, little Ellis asked her dad one day: &amp;amp;#8220;How can I play as the girl? I want to save Mario!&amp;amp;#8221; And that&amp;#x27;s how this came to be: I&amp;#x27;ll stop after telling you one more thing, because I know your head is about to explode from cuteness/heartwarmth/inspiration overload: Mika added, as he told his story to Wired, that he suspects Ellis loves playing Donkey Kong so much because Mario sort of looks like her grandpa. I mean, would you say you&amp;#x27;re in a 100 percent or 1,000 percent better mood after reading this? Photo: Nintendo"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
