wii, oui, yes?

D got a Wii for her birthday from E's parents on Wednesday the girls don't have school so we set it up. I am not very good with anything technology related I usually let Josh and Jason handle all that junk but I felt that I could handle setting the Wii up. Well I followed the directions and had everything plugged in and D and Ir were jumping around like crazy people they were so excited. However we couldn't figure out how to get the tv from regular mode to the Wii. We just kept pressing things on the remote. X who was cleaning that afternoon came in to see what the girls were excited about and saw the Wii. She watched us mess around with the remote for a while and then took it from us and tried to figure it out. X speaks Russian and French and the girls when they are excited go from French to Greek and I of course only speak English. So we were all yelling excitedly at each other trying to figure it out. X kept saying merde haha which I did recognize as the French word for s#$@ haha how amusing that she was speaking in Russian but switched to French to swear. X eventually called her 16 year old son and after a very animated conversation and trust me I didn't need to to know Russian to get the jist of it she had figured it out.
The girls and I played the Wii for ooo I'd say about the next 4 hours STRAIGHT. I was too tired to fight with them to make them stop and I figured since it's the first time it's fine. When it was time for showers and homework they flipped. "NOOOO Joy we don't want to stop" then they fought with each other "it's my turn" "you're going to break it". It's amazing what one stupid game can do. My siblings fight over the Wii and whatever other games as well, my mother will be relieved to know it's kids all over the world in every language.

I hid the controller :)
