the Wii and my mom

Okay, I’ve been “encouraged” to add to this blog of ours. So taking the opportunity of Alex being away on business in London, I’ll sit down and properly collect some thoughts to share in this blog.

So for Christmas, my parents wanted to get my brother Alan the Wii but it was so in demand, we haven’t been able to get one until now. Alex and I just happened to come across all these Wii’s for sale at Costco last week and bought one for my family. I haven’t properly played yet with my whole family. But just watching my mom play is quite amusing. She and I are similar in many ways (scary thought for me at times ) and the way we play video games is one such similarity. We get very ‘involved’ in the game, so to speak. I know for myself, my hands get all sweaty and I let out these shrieks of excitement whilst getting caught up in the whole situation. My mom is just like that. Tonight, I was sitting in a different room when I hear these shouts of exclamation coming from the living room. At first, I thought my mom was watching a scary movie on TV, but no, she was playing tennis on the Wii.

Anyway, I wonder how many sets of parents are now hooked on the Wii too
