The Wee Wii Master

Non. Cette article n’est pas à propos de pee pee!

So, I finally broke down & got a Wii. I figured that since these things were still scarce after being on sale for two years, that they must be a lot of fun. They aren’t scarce in Paris, so I went to Auchan one day after work and grabbed one from the large stack.

Then I ran out the door.

Not really, but I did set off the alarm when leaving the game console area. The guard was standing there watching me buy it, so he just gave me the “whatever” look when I waved the receipt at him.  And they don’t give you bags at Auchan unless you buy one, so I was just carrying it out naked when the guard at the main entrance stopped me. He took my receipt and stamped it. The French love stamping things!

So I got home that Friday night and promptly put the box aside and drank too much wine. By Sunday, I was feeling better and set it up. Sarah wanted to try, of course and she was pretty good at golf, but I just couldn’t teach her the right timing for bowling. You need to release the trigger on the remote at a certain time. She is a little “impatient” and just wants to do things.

A few days later I come home and she has kicked Danielle’s butt in a game of bowling after getting FIVE strikes in a row and scoring 251 points!

    I hear that the tennis game is fun. This is a good age for Sarah to start learning these things. You don’t want her to grow up hopelessly uncoordinated like her vielle tante.

    O Jeez. Maybe I better hook up the 1st generation Nintendo I still have as Sarah will probably walk in the door and be all “Ce qui ? Vous ne faites pas Wii???

    you gotta love that sour “puss” look and the flower girl dress. Apparently Sarah and Suri would be BFFs with their love of frilly frocks.

    Does Sarah always wear a party dress for sports competitions?
