When I was in 8th grade, I received a
Nintendo for Christmas. We were a bit
late coming to this technology, just
like the microwave and VCR too
But for that whole Christmas break, and into
January, while my mother and my
sisters stayed in St. Louis and it was
just me and my father and my brother
living down in Dallas trying to pretend
this was normal, the Christmas tree staying
up in the living room, bare and dry, a
total fire hazard, until she came home,
we played Super Mario Brothers and
Zelda. I got rather good at those games.
"trying to pretend this was normal ..." Nice.
