Bought a wii u console for my little boy and he was over the moon.
When I watched him playing his favorite super mario bro u on this console, I had to admire how well his little fingers coordinated with all the bits on the game pad.
I had a go at it during his break. After half an hour, I couldn't feel my thumbs and failed miserably.
I remember the time when I had the first super mario game on my gameboy, in black and white. I just got my first degree and started my first job.
At that time, I was the only one in my neighborhood who owned a gameboy and I was the centre of envy.
My niece used to borrow it and always came back to me for help when she got stuck on some level.
I remember we gasped, screamed, cheered and all the rest of it, while trying to squeeze our heads into that small circle to get a glimpse on that tiny screen.
How time has changed...
Those days were long gone...
How much I miss my youth...
I started super mario when I was already working. My little boy started mario when he was 2 years old! Now the game is played on a 60" screen as well as on the game pad.
My husband is a kind of what you call "true gentleman" and very rarely argues with anyone or about anything. When at the first parent meeting the teacher pointed out that our son needed to learn to improve his coordination, I remember my hubby immediately said : "I don't think so"!

It was a joy to be sitting there admiring how well my little boy was playing it and how much he was enjoying it. His smile meant everything:-)
