Ben was not a YouTube gamer. Ben was very boring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-sitetext-color has-sitebg-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\">Ben didn\u2019t even know there was a YouTube gamer called Jacksepticeye who was the most famous Minecraft YouTube gamer on the planet. That\u2019s how boring Ben was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-sitetext-color has-sitebg-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\">But this is a story about Ben, not Jacksepticeye who is from Ireland &#8211; top o\u2019 the morning to ya, laddies! &#8211; and makes awesome videos playing Minecraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-sitetext-color has-sitebg-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\">So one day Ben was walking along and he sees some other kids watching Jacksepticeye on YouTube. \u201cWhat are you watching?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-sitetext-color has-sitebg-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re watching Jacksepticeye, the best gamer in the world! He has 27 million subscribers!\u201d said a girl because Jacksepticeye is so cool even girls watch him. Sometimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-sitetext-color has-sitebg-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWho\u2019s that?\u201d said Ben.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-sitetext-color has-sitebg-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJacksepticeye is the most famous person in all of Ireland and he even has his own clothes brand!\u201d said someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-sitetext-color has-sitebg-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe doesn\u2019t sound very educational. I don\u2019t think I would be allowed to write about him because I wouldn\u2019t be learning anything,\u201d said boring Ben who was both boring and wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-sitetext-color has-sitebg-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s not true. Watching Jacksepticeye is very educational. We learnt how to make a bee farm in Minecraft and how to survive a hundred days in hardcore Minecraft and when we grow up we\u2019ll know how to be famous YouTube gamers because we learnt it from Jacksepticeye,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-sitetext-color has-sitebg-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWow! That is educational. Why don\u2019t grown ups understand how educational Jacksepticeye is?\u201d Ben asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-sitetext-color has-sitebg-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBecause they\u2019re old and their brains have shrivelled up like walnuts,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-sitetext-color has-sitebg-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\">Then Ben kept walking and he didn\u2019t watch Jacksepticeye, so he didn\u2019t grow up to make a million dollars and own a porsche in jet black with midnight blue flames down the sides and he stayed boring all his life then he died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-sitetext-color has-sitebg-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\">THE END.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-sitebg-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\">Figure out what your kids are going mental over, here; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/jacksepticeye\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/jacksepticeye<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-sitebg-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\">Want to read more of Elissa McKay?
