After going back and forth on whether the $20.00 price tag was worth it, I decided to take Zack to Game Stop and let him buy a used Wii and the Smash Bros game. He had $1700.00 in his savings account and I thought he deserved to finally be able to spend some of it.
This satisfied his obsession for a while but also fueled his desire to buy the 3DS version of the game when it was released on October 3rd. He had pre-ordered a copy from Best Buy using some of his graduation money.
And then...the countdown began. Day after day after day I heard exactly how many weeks, days, hours, and even minutes were left until he could have his hands on this game. I finally had to make a rule that if he talked about it more than 10x a day, I was going to postpone the pick-up time by an hour. Not kidding - it was that bad.
I get done with school at 11:00 on Fridays so needless to say we were at Best Buy by 11:30. Zack had worked ahead in school so he could take the day off.
Amen...I can finally stop hearing about it.
