37 No's, 1 Yes

Ok, so last December the wife and I are doing the santa thing, looking for a gift for both of the kids, how about a Wii, sounds good, only of course every other santa had the same idea so no Wii for xmas.

Flash forward too 3 days ago, "the kids had a really good year, excellent report cards, we should do something special for them"

And so the quest began. It was easy at xmas to simply give up to the inevitable impossibility of finding one. Self, I thought, its June, Wii's should simply fall out of the sky now.

"Electronics's Please" "Hi there, do you have any Wii game system's in stock"......."No

Hmmm....it's June, Must be a fluke.

After calling every Target, Walmart, Circuit City, EB Games and Sears in the County, 37 calls to be exact.....I was about to give up "Perhaps it will make a nice Halloween surprise".

Ok, one more call, I'll try Blockbuster. "Hi there, would you happen to have any Wii game systems in stock".......Yes. "Hold it for me I'll be there in 10min.

Turns out they had gotten 4 in an hour before I called, and I got the last one.

So after the friends from the last day of school swim and feast left, I placed the Wii on the kitchen counter, and went back to watching TV. The boy child discovered it, he was....pleased....to say the least.

After a quick set up they were bowling and golfing in the living room, laughing and giving each other a hard time. Summer begins, quest.....complete.
