I've been a Nintendo kid for as long as I can remember. I got my first Nintendo way back in the day, and for Christmas got a subscription to Nintendo Power... right when they were doing the divinely-inspired Dragon Warrior promotion. So when the Wii came out, of course I snapped one up as soon as I could find it. Then the strangest thing happened.

On a phone call with my mom, she asks "So do you have one of those Wii things?" I tell her that of course I do, to which she replies "can you bring it over one day?"

This, people, FLOORS ME.

So I bring it over for her to try out. I've never seen her having as much fun in my life. Eventually I have to leave, bringing my Wii with me. But not before she asks... "If you find me one, could you pick it up for me?"

Fast forward to a week ago, where I buy my mom... MY MOM... A Nintendo Wii. She's hooked. And then, as if by some diabolical mechanism, she comes to me with eldritch information.

"Did you know," she whispers quietly to me over the phone, "that if you release the bowling ball backwards, you can make the little people in the alley jump?"

Priceless.
