Wii!
We finally have joined the 90’s and have purchased a game console. Well, more accurately, we made the kids save up their allowance and some gift cards that they got back at Christmas time until they had enough cash (or equivalent) to be able to afford the Nintendo Wii that they had their hearts set on. Of course, Brenda had to do the hard work of phoning around each week to try to find a unit in stock somewhere and, worse, had to get up at 5:00 am yesterday to line up to get one! Steven set his alarm and was up in record time to make sure that he and Brenda were to the store in time.
The kids are really enjoying the Wii and can already clobber me in all the games. Well, if I can’t beat them, at least I can have the warm parental feeling of knowing that I can threaten to take away their access to the Wii if they misbehave!
As for Brenda, she is a bit of worry – she’s promised to punch my lights out later … I hope that she’s talking about Wii Boxing!
