Dawn of a New Era

I thought this day would never happen. When I was growing up, my sister and I were raised without any sort of gaming system. No nintendo. No gameboy. No playstation. We would go through periods of asking for a system, but the parentals would always say no. We weren't even allowed to spend our own money to buy one. But now I'm glad that I'm not skilled on how to play whatever game, because I have better memories of spending time outside and playing with friends. But as an older child watching her younger brother grow up, I feel like I have to be a little vocal about what he gets (and gets away with). He got to buy an X-box 360 last year. Yes, there was a contract he had with my parents and the money he paid for the gaming system with had to come from the work he did, but he still got to buy one. (I actually don't have much of a problem with it. I've gotten over it.)

But today the situation has changed again. After hearing some really good things about the Wii Fit, my mom decided that a Wii wasn't such a bad idea. So my mom and my brother went out and got a Wii, the Wii fit game and all that it entails! I never thought I'd see the day when my mom (or dad) would spend money on a gaming system. Never ever. But that day has come. But you won't hear me complaining about this one because I will get to use it. And I rock at the bowling!
