Gameboy

Gameboy is a wonderful invention. The system is portable, games are fun and some are even educatioal. Reese still loves his gameboy - after ten years of gameboy ownership, he has never lost one.

Walker got his start on a Gameboy DS that I purchased at a garage sale for $10. For some reason, I upgraded him to a DS Lite with a flouresent green Nerf cover. No way could that bright green thing be lost, right? You guessed it. Lost.

I searched and searched and agonized over that lost gameboy. I was so sure it would "turn up", but it never did. I just could not get over it being lost. So around Christmas time, I found one on sale and bought it! I secretly had a "lost" gameboy. I even bought a new Nerf cover.

Then, it was Chanukah. Walker's gameboy has a broken hinge barely hanging on, but still working fine. With gift cards, I bought him a new DS Lite with the familiar green cover.

We all take our gameboys to Great Wolf Lodge. DH and I like to play solitaire on mine. In the car on the way, DS2 ran out of charge, so I let him use mine. Guess whose gameboy is now lost? Mine How stupid can I be. We asked lost and found, we called the restaurant we last remember having it - nothing. We checked out on Saturday morning.

The phone rang early this morning - The Great Wolf Lodge found mine - you better believe my name and telephone number is written all over that thing. It's a 45 minute drive out there - so we will drive out this morning.



Yes, DS will be on a much tighter leash with his. It may not be allowed t leave the house until he is more responsible.
