Big Daddy and I have been frantically searching under every rock and crevasse for a Wii console or bundle pack. We have checked buy.com, bestbuy.com,circuitcity.com, target.com, walmart.com, samsclub.com, compusa.com, directron.com, outpost.com, newegg.com, amazon.com, kmart.com, samgoody.com, sears.com, toysrus.com , fao.com, the actual Ninetindo/Wii site-all to no avail. Yes, it is true there are some greedy folks on Ebay offering up their own $650. version which we refuse to purchase.
This is the first time that we have ever had the unfortunate experience to be caught up in all of the "must have" Christmas gift hype. Fortunate for us we missed the Tickle me Elmo, Cabbage Patch, the PS2, the Ipod, etc... those things at the time our kids were not "demanding". But this year all three of our kids have banded together and asked for this as a "family gift". Of course my game loving husband saw the sentimentality in that statement. Me, not so much. But I am searching for this needle in a haystack. Even calling in favors to friends that are store managers and friends that are currently abroad. Even to a friend that has a sibling that works for Amazon. Lines are cast, but alas no bites! Heck! It is driving me mad!
I know! I know, all to well what World of War CRACK did to my kids (they insist that they still require a daily hit, as does Big Daddy-the intervention clearly didn't work.). And I know I am crazy for putting so much time into looking for a close cousin in the gaming world. But as parent we do what we can to bring happiness to the household-if even for a little while. They do all play well together. And the kids friends want to come over and play-and then I know what all goes on if they are in my house. Yes, there are other motives. But they are genuine and real, especially if you have teenagers.
