Bridging The Wii Gap…

I’ve had this post idea for awhile, but never really had the kahunas to actually post it. But, what have I got to lose, so who cares?

We’re pretty broke these days. That’s not really a shocker, is it? I’ve been moaning about it for months. But that’s not the point. The point is that the oldest likes to go to his friend’s houses and they play games like the Wii. Now because these kids have the systems in their homes, they get to play quite a bit more than my son. So, he pretty much gets his butt handed to him.

Every. Single. Time.

Can you imagine how frustrating it is to play something and get beat every single time and know you’re not going to win? Happens to me in the real world and it sucks. So, when my five-year-old has to go through, it makes me sad. He’s friggin’ five. He should get some occasional joy before the world starts crapping on him 24/7.

So, if you got a couple bucks burning a hole in your pocket, chip in on the sidebar over there? If you think I’m a douche for trying to get a Wii, that’s fine. I have a tough skin and I can take it. If you’re broke, too, we’re cool. Move along to the next post. I know how that goes.

UPDATE: Took down the widget. I just can’t do it. Sorry.

    If I had even the space on a credit card, I’d send you one. Because I do get that. not on the game side since I always sucked at that anyway, but in the general sense. You guys need a little goodness thrown your way right now.

    But, um, can’t find the PayPal button. Is it just me?

    Thanks, EDW. The sentiment is nice. We could use some goodness, but it’s going to be awhile. I’m pretty sure that barring some miracle, I will lose the house this year. There goes one of my resolutions. It might be a blessing, to be honest. We’ve been sinking for awhile…

    God, that sucks, Patrick. I know what its like. There are probably worse things to happen, but it still sucks.
    I hope you get your goodness!

    Haha, teach them that the goal is to have fun and not worry about winning.

    I hope that if you’re thinking you might loose the house, you are eligible for some of the programs that just came out this past month. I know my mom was looking into something the FHA was promoting.

    Why not encourage the kids to do additional things that the little guy is good at? Sure, he might get his butt kicked at Wii, but he probably totally rocks at something else those other kids don’t.

    Sending lots of goodness wishes your way!
