Photographer and mother-of-two Rachael Grotegut found the "ultimate incentive" to keep her son, Gavin, on the can -- put his dad's old Game Boy Advance in his hands! In the photograph above, Gavin is playing Phantasy Star, which he cutely calls "Pidgin Star," as he cant remember the title. His other favorite video games include Mario Kart and anything else with Super Mario in it.

Apparently, he can't stop talking about the store now. Just wait a few months -- we're sure GameStop's constant customer begging for used games and preorders will eventually get to Gavin.
