Waiting for a game

In order to try out some games for our Wii, we joined Gamefly (think Netflix for games). The boys put their top choices in and started checking the mail for the much anticipated arrival of the games. Garrett's top choice was a game called Ninjabread Man. Not surprisingly this game was readily available.....it has horrible ratings and judging by the title (the reason Garrett chose it) well, you can imagine. After trekking out in the snow a couple of days in a row to check the mail, Garrett came back successful and excited, Ninjabread Man had arrived!!! He ran in and turned on the Wii, loaded the game and got ready to meet Ninjabread Man. The first screen loaded and he selected play at which point the game paused. Gavin tried, I tried, Darin tried....everytime it paused. We replaced batteries in the remote, switched remotes, turned off/on the Wii, nothing was successful. After all the anticipation and the let down, Garrett sighed, "So much for that excitement," and headed off to play something else. Of course, his timing and the way he said it was perfect and we all got a good laugh.
