Wii

My sisters tried to persuade me that we should get my parents a Wii for Christmas. I literally thought they were crazy. I had never used a Wii but knew what it was and the games that were involved. I could never imagine MY parents playing with the Wii, especially knowing them the way I do. I was almost sure they did not even know what a Wii was. My sisters assured me over and over that my parents would use and love the game system, so I went along and agreed to get the game.

My skepticism subsided when I saw my mother's 'kid in a candy store' expression as she unwrapped the Wii system on Christmas morning. Then all doubt was erased as my entire family spent hours playing with the system the day after Christmas. It was so fun to play and it was great to see everyone enjoying themselves. Since learning how to operate the system, my parents have gotten into making their mi's, the games (especially bowling), and all the features they can use. My parents continue to practice and suggest playing a game or two at any chance. The Wii was such a great idea for my parents and the family.
