nintendo ds lite, video game console   

A few days ago my daughter asked if we could buy her a Nintendo DS lite. When I asked her what was wrong with the video game console that she and her brother got for Christmas, she told me that she was never able to play it because her brother and dad were always using it. I didn't say anything to her about it, but I knew that she had a valid point. It seems like every evening after dinner, my husband and son retreat to the family room and pull out the video game console. There is one game that they seem to love, and every evening they go head to head against each other. I've heard on several occasions our daughter asking if she could play a game on the video game console, and they always say when they are finished. The only problem is they get finished about the same time she should be getting her bath and ready for bed.

I told her that I would talk to her dad about getting a Nintendo DS lite for her, but that I couldn't make any promises. Poor thing even said she'd be willing to work for it just so she could have a chance to play games when she wanted, and not have to wait on her brother and dad.

That evening when my husband came home from work, I explained to him the conversation that I'd had with our daughter. He suggested that I go ahead and order the Nintendo DS lite for her, and then allow her to do extra chores in the house to pay for it. That way she would learn that she doesn't get everything she wants, and she'll have a sense of pride for having to work for the Nintendo DS lite. I thought he had a great idea, so I ordered the Nintendo DS lite in the color that she'd asked for, pink. Then after dinner, she was helping me with the dishes and I told her that I'd talked to her dad and we agreed to buy her the Nintendo DS lite and that she could do some extra chores in house to pay for it. She was so thrilled, and even more so when I told her that I'd already placed the order at Bolluck Mall whose online store can be found by visiting www.bolluckmall.com/ and that she should have it in about a week.
