New toy at home
My son spent some money he’d earned from helping out on a project on a GameCube for himself. It’s his first ‘big’ purchase. All his other electronic toys like his GameBoy and NintendoDS have always been hand-me-downs from his father. This one is all his and he agonized over it. We’d go into the store and he’d look at it and think about it then decide not to spend his money. On Monday I took him to the game store and he finally went for it. They had a special bundle with Mario Party 7 and an extra controller for the same price as the base unit. I’ve spent the last two nights on the floor with him playing it. Nice thing is it’s a bit older now so used games are pretty cheap and plentiful. He’s already making a list of the ones he wants to save for. Now he has his GameCube and I have my X-Box and I don’t have to worry about finding my favorite games hiding in the wrong case anymore.
