Ok, I realize Billy may have some form of issues but he also is a selfish son of a biscuit eater. He is 29 years old and we only charge him $100 to stay here. I think we make it way too easy but Tony wont back me up any more than that. I think we are going to have a a long talk about this.
Billy has all these electronic toys. It looks like NASA in his bedroom. Huge computer with two monitors, 22 inch HD LCD TV, new HD dvr Dish receiver (that he bought and added to my dish account without asking me). Yet he never cleans his room. It looks like hoarder paradise. Oh he also has a Nintendo DS. Or did.
That is what this story is all about.
Last week when we had Keyana here I had bought her a game for the DS. She was bored and I got out this DS game. I was going to save it for Xmas and get her a used DS from a pawn shop but I decided to try it on his DS and see if she could actually play it. Well this game was too advanced for her. I didnt see the age rating...it said E but it had reading in it so it really should have been for at least 8 year olds.
I told Billy, I am going to go try to find a used game somewhere, maybe Gamestop, and ask for something for 3/4 year olds that doesnt require reading, and lets see if she can do that before I actually buy her a DS for herself. He heard me say this.
HE SOLD HIS DS THIS WEEK!!!!!!!
He never asked me if I wanted it. He got $20 bucks off a Playstation 2 at Gamestop by turning in the DS. He says he told me. He didnt. I would have given him $20 bucks. He said, well I figured you would have wanted to get her one of the more expensive ones with the touch screens anyway. WHAT? If she cant even play the thing? If I didnt even get the chance to see if she can handle it? Why would I even buy it when you cant take them back?
How selfish!!!!
Well, Im telling you what. I am going to get something different for her this Xmas. Vtech has put two new things out. One is called the Mobigo which is like a DS for 3 to 8 year olds with a slide out keypad and you can download games from the internet or buy game cartridges at the store. And they have something called the Vreader which is an Ereader for 3 to 7 year olds. Its awesome. It reads to them, highlights words, has pictures that move, plays games, they can touch the words and they explain what the words mean. Its cool. Im gonna get those for her and I will be danged if Im buying anything for him. He just blew it. And he better start saving to leave. I want him gone.
