The Wii told me!


Apparently the Wii told Briggs he was underweight. I'm not entirely sure what game they were playing, but whatever it was, the Wii was right.

However, I find it a little freaky that a video game is dispensing lifestyle advice to a five year old.

It kind of reminds me of that weird movie "The Last Mimsy". I don't know if you've seen it, but I found it completely creepy. This little stuffed animal keeps telling this little girl to do things, things that often turn out dangerously. I kept waiting for this ostensibly innocent kids movie to turn into some evil horror film. It never did, but it still left me with the heeby jeebies.

But hey, if the Wii has convinced Briggs he needs to eat more at dinner (something his parents, siblings, grandparents, and aunts haven't yet succeeded at) then great. All hail the Wii...

The thing is, that the Wii fit is programed for adults and not really applicable to kids. Poor Briggy!

There's no denying that our G-man and Briggy-boo are lightweights, though!

We all need to give the kid a break, his daddy was under weight all his young life too, need I say more?

I don't think he was hurt by his underweight status. I told him I'd trade profiles with him if he wanted.My little Mii inflated like Violet Beauregaurd when I stepped on the scale.
