Crazy But Able

Tonight I was hooking up the TV so we could watch the Olympics. The A/V gear was still in a heap from The Move and as I was unearthing the VCR, I had to move the Playstation 2.

“I’ll put the Playstation over here,” I said.
“Pay-stasion,” came the echo at my feet.
I paused. “Can you say ‘Wii’?”
“Wee!”
“I should be recording this,” I said to Peggy. “Can you say ‘XBox’?”
“Ecks-’ocks.”
“Can you say ‘Atari’?”
“Tar-ee.”
“Can you say ‘Nintendo’?”
“Tar-ee!”

Peggy and I collapsed in laughter. Peggy had an Atari growing up (still has it, actually), and is totally unbeatable in Joust. We have boxes of Atari games. Peggy doesn’t hold with any of that Nintendo 8 bit crap, so I think we have to conclude that her daughter is following in her footsteps.
