“And Once and for All I'd Get Momma Out Too”

   Yesterday my family got a Wii. (Actually we borrowed a Wii, but same difference). I thought this was going to be fun family thing. If only things in my family were that simple. Sure, we had a good time, but we also had to learn the hard lesson of the top 3 things not to do with a Wii.


1. Scream/laugh like a harpy- why would anyone do this? You’ll have to take that up with my mother. While she was playing a game involving racing cows (to her defense, it was pretty funny looking, I mean the Miis ride cows, but still…) she began shriek in a high pitched laugh/possessed demon shout. It was terrifying. My father losing it and laughing too did not ameliorate the ear-splitting cacophony. His low pitched evil scientist laugh just added to the din. All of my pets were freaking out, torn between running away and making sure we were alright. I’m pretty sure they are scarred now.


2. Forget to put your wrist strap thingy on- luckily, I caught my mother before she threw the Wiimote into the TV, but there was the potential for disaster.


3. Play with your parents- this is mainly because the only person who is worse than me at Wii is my mother and we should not ever be allowed to play together.
