...for the other shoe to drop. The custom curtains she has her eye on will cost 10x as much as the Wii

I can really relate to desire to find ways to do things with my wife around the house that are active other than yard work with the baby monitor clipped to our belts. As an gamer from a long time ago, 'm suddenly nostalgic for NES. I floated the idea of getting a Wii by her after reading this article and got a "maybe"...which is far more than I thought I would. She said that she'd heard that her sister's friend and some mommies she knows get together to play some trivia game... So there may be hope for me yet!

I can\'t believe that I, foodad, the gamer who has had nintendo, (my brother had) super nintendo, nintendo 64 and gamecube-- not to mention Atari 2600, Gameboy and Sega Genesis-- does not have a Wii yet.

If anyone wants to send me one to wiiview, I would be happy to do so. :zzz

Noodad and Reviewdad, could you have your wife speak to mine?

Well done Foodad - again bringing down the Uuuummmm law. I agree as well - those who don\'t understand hyperboles and literary exaggeration must have poor senses of humor. Come to think of it, truthfully if Charlize Theron offered me a threesome I\'d be so shocked I\'d probably say no, something stupid or pee myself. Like passing a on $30,000 mansion because you think something is wrong with it haha. So anyway, to each his own and anything that a family can do together is good in my book.

Okay, so clearly I'm jumping in a little late and everyone has already jumped all over all American for his comment but I just have to point out that all American suggests that mr. and mrs.reviewdad just go play gol' if that's what they want to do. Umm isn't it called neglect when you run out to play a quick 9 when your kid is in bed sleeping? Hell, if they run off to play tennis or golf every time they get the urge and just leave their kid unsupervised, they'll have tons of free time for sports because their kid will be in the custody of the state.

Dude, even I would do the threesome with his wife and Charlize Theron. But we all understand it is a joke. :)

Great story. Hope you can find one now! I have had this on my list of things to buy since before Christmas and there has never one in stock whenever I am at anywhere that carries them. We stopped in just last week and were told next shipment arrives the 29th. Wish me luck!

Clearly, RedBloodMale does not understand that ReviewDad used the notion of the prospect of having a threesome with Charlize Theron as an analogy for how shocked he was by his wife\'s comment that perhaps they should get a Wii. Let\'s give ReviewDad credit that he\'d not forgo that offer to get a video game system (even if it is a Wii!) OR that the Wii and the threesome are somehow equivalent...although, I\'d argue that happily married and with kids, the Wii would be the better way to go!

Boy, I take a long lunch break to go play Wii with my morbidly obese, socially awckward, and pale kids and look what I come back to.

Guys, its a frigging video game. It pwns. It\'s fun to play with your spouse.

And yes, Charlize Theron is hot and a threesome (heck a twosome) would trump buying a wii anyday but it\'s a frigging metaphor!

Can\'t you let reviewdad enjoy his new toy? Have we really gotton to the point where we have to overanalyze everything?

The guy is excited to get permission from his wife to buy a Wii.

Sure, it shouldn\'t replace real activity but anyone that has played it knows it kicks ass. And he was talking about playing with his wife, not his kids. Cut the guy some slack and let him play with the wii.

Sheesh, you guys take things way too seriously.

Dennis Miller once said a really funny quote - paraphrased here - that he and his son had a great old-time father-son game of catch experience by playing a video game of a father and son playing catch. Perfect irony and disappointment. The commercials for the Wii show tow people looking like idiots playing tennis in front of the TV. What happened to actaully going out and playing tennis? If you want to play golf - go play golf! How sad is it that we now have video games to play the games we should be playing outside and enjoying the benefits of excercise, hand-eye-coordination, and development that comes with the physical activity? For the sake of the kids, don\'t buy a video game console to replace the activity of being a kid. When I was young it was simple - the door outside was opened, and we were told to go out and entertain ourselves. So we did. Now our kids are fat and lazy and lack physical ability.

I must show some concern however that ReviewDad has compared getting a video game to having a \"threesome with Charlize Theron.\" As a normal, red-blooded, adult male, I don\'t think you can really compare having a real-life experience of a threesome with one of the most beautiful women in the world to a virtual toy for kids without sounding like a complete and utter dork. Perhaps a Wii is better than a trip to Disneyland -note I did not say DisneyWorld- but I would hope, for your sake as an adult man, if your wife gave you the option of having sex with her and her new best friend Charlize Theron or having a wonderful night in playing video games that you would choose the former. I am happy to hear you choose the Sox over video games! There\'s hope yet!

So logical (the rationale)...so beautiful...might it work for me too?! I was thinking that the \"the kids will grow into it and they have educational games\" angle was the way to go but this seems better. The price though...I can see my wife saying NP at $150 but at $350?...

This is not the first time we have recommended using video game to get closer to your wife!

When your wife is making her Mii, do not make any comments on anything. Especially body proportions. let her do it (even if it doesn\'t really look like her)
