10 Reasons not to get a Nintendo Wii


For those of you considering the purchase of a new video game system keep these in mind.

1. You will become a Wii Widow.
2. Your children will beg to play it from the moment they wake up.
3. You will need to increase your budget for the AA battery allowance.
4. Your husband will challenge you to games in which he knows he will win in order to get you to do "you know what" that night.
5. You have to rearrange your furniture to allow for the space it takes to play the game.
6. Your kids will have so much fun playing "tank" that they won't realize they need to use the restroom and use your carpet as a urinal.
7. Grandparents won't stop playing golf to come to the dinner table for Easter supper.
8. When you have friends over with kids they fight all night over whose turn it is to play.
9. Offending people when making the mii's on the wii. Too fat, too tall, too skinny, too bald, bad afro, etc you get the picture
10. Breaking your tv or window with the flying remote.

Actually, I am half kidding. We have had a blast with it and have loved sharing it with our friends and family. It is fun group activity that everyone enjoys and to top it off you burn calories while playing. So come on down to the homestead and play a game with us, ya hear!

"one innocent lillte game" and therefore loose husbands to the game as well. But more time for us to hang out then , hehehe!!!
