Quote of the Day 73

The gang is at our place tonight for home church Wii. Yeah I'm not 100% on what that means either. BigE is heading to bed after playing some Mario racing game when he starts telling me

"I like that Wii. There's racing Wii, sports Wii, Pirates Wii. I bet in Pirates Wii you have to fight them with your swords"

I smile and nod. I assume he's thinking games. Later Mama goes up stairs to find him awake. (He's complaining about the noise). When he tells her

"Make sure you get the name of the Wii and look at the front of the box so we know which one it is"

Somebody is hooked
