We want a Wii
Sep 29th, 2007 by admin in Bringing Up Boys, Family
The last video game unit I had was an original Atari. My brothers and I mastered Pit Fall, Frogger, Night Driver and of course Pac Man. Since the time I was about 14, I’ve seen video games as a colossal waste of time. I’ve viewed excessive video game playing as a character flaw. I’ve passed judgment on old boyfriends and grown men for spending too much time sitting in front of a TV with a controller in their hands. But, after last night I’m singing a new song.
Some new friends had us over for dinner last night. After the very excellent meal, they broke out the Wii. It was probably the most fun I’ve had all week, and certainly the most exercise I’ve had too. I played tennis, bowled, shot rabbits with toilet plungers, and incinerated bunnies while dancing to the beat. I got a stitch in my side laughing at my sons boxing each other and then rolled in the floor when the two dads boxed. It was truly a family fun night with the adults having most of the fun. And to top it off, my arm is sore today from the exertion.
No wonder this new toy is hard to find in stores right now. Does anyone know where to put your hands on one of these little gadgets, cause we want a Wii.
Last time my son was exchanging games it seemd that Vintage Stock had plenty of wii on thier shelves.
Alex just HAD to have one for his birthday. I have to say I love our Wii and it is VERY fun. Alex waited for 2 hours outside Best Buy to get one, but he says he thinks they are available now in the stores though. We took it with us to WA and now Rich and Diane are going to get one
Hope all is well with you friend!
