So the other day my mom called me to tell me that her and my dad bought a Nintendo Wii!  Somehow Nintendo has managed to come up with a video game system that appeals to everyone from five to sixty years old.  Brilliant, I tell you.

And let me tell you this - the salesman who sold my parents the Wii thought that he was brilliant, too!  When he found out that my parents wanted the Wii Fit, he pretty much loaded up a cart full of things they “absolutely needed” in order to properly enjoy their new Wii Fit.  Coming from a generation that didn’t grow up with video games the way ours did, they happily took the salesman’s “helpful” advice, and bought all of the things he was so very “generous” to point out to them.

When they got home, they suddenly realized they didn’t actually need that yoga mat, yoga mat bag, Wii Fit board softening cover, and so forth.  Fortunately they had no trouble returning the unnecessary extras.  For the salesman’s sake, I hope he wasn’t there when they came back to the store.

Just thought I’d share that silly story with you!  I wonder how many other people out there have parents who own their own Wii…
