Over the holidays my teenage daughters went to a party hosted by a classmate - Emily recounted this story. Apparently everyone was taking turns playing the Wii games in the basement, but Emily had some trouble operating the cordless controller. Demonstrating how to play Wii bowling and somewhat perplexed at her ineptitude, her host asked, "Don't you have a Wii at home?"
At her negative answer, he continued," X-box? Playstation? Game cube? DS? Kinect?"
"No - no - no - no - no..."
Apparently unable to believe that any modern American family could be without an electronic game system, he asked, "Well, what do you have, then?"
Emily didn't have to think long before the perfect answer came to her.
"Ummm, we have goats!!"
Today was an unseasonably warm winter day - we got into a raucous game of chasing the goats around the yard, over the picnic table, dancing on the shed roof - Emerson was practically doing flips, he was so excited - until they finally fell asleep, exhausted, on our laps. Yeah - beats a Wii every time!
