Thanks to the van's onboard transporter, Bennett (aka "Newbie Driver") and I were soon standing at a cash register waiting to buy a Wii game console + a Wii game, both of us grinning like a cat that'd just figured out how to open a hamster cage door.When we got home, first I showed Tim (aka "Triple T") a Mario Brothers Wii game we also got.
Triple T said, "Dude, why'd ya git a wee game when wee kan't play it?" (Tim doesn't spell well when he's talking.)
I motioned for Newbie Driver to come into the rec room (aka "The Teen Cave") and show Triple T the Wii console we just bought. Triple T just sat there smiling the biggest grin of his brief life... like a hamster that'd just figured out how to boobytrap a hamster cage door.Soon, both Triple T and Newbie Driver were setting up, configuring, arguing (I mean "discussing"), and then playing games on the Wii.
When I went upstairs, I think I heard what sounded like a soft crying or whimpering sound coming from the older game consoles, now forgotten.
next week: The Sega Genesis and the Nintendo 64 stage a protest.
