Surprisingly it didn't take as much begging as I thought it might. I never really thought to even ask because I knew the idea of it all would be shot down immediately. I was sure "No, have some patience, Nicole," would be the first thing out of my mother's mouth. I'm not sure when exactly I changed my mind about all of this however. Probably somewhere in the midst of lounging about the house, bored as usual, looking for something to do as well as an excuse to do it. My dad seated on the opposite couch was also an instigation. He loves stuff like this, loves spending money, and hates sitting around bored almost as much as I do.
"Hey Dad, my birthday's right around the corner, you know, and well... I've been thinking about asking for a Wii. I think it'd be a lot of fun. Actually, I wish I even had it now to play."
Without even so much as a hesitation, he got up from the couch and begged my mom for her credit card. Sometimes I feel as if he's another brother. Surely there aren't many other fathers out there quite like him. We ran right out to Walmart, and picked it up. My sweet sixteen birthday gift, a Nintendo Wii. While registering it, it asks you to name your console. I decided that Wii reminded me of the French and the way they say "Wee Wee" for yes, and so, I named my Nintendo Wii, Pierre.
As of now, I'm spending all my free time with Pierre. We haven't left each others sight for long since we were brought together. It's a pretty strong bond... a girl, and her Wii... you just don't come between things like that.
