I remember as a kid I didn’t really have any toys. I pretty much just sat around doing nothing… sadly that was true until I got my DS.
I counted my bills one more time making sure I had enough. It was the only thing I could do to keep myself from Going insane. I was just to excited. After three months of odd jobs and picking up coins I finally had enough to buy the new Nintendo DS. Once we got to the store jumped out of the car and bounded right towards the game stop–if there was a record for shortest time getting out of a car and getting into a store I would have beaten it. Once I had gotten the DS I jumped right back into the car, my mom had barely even gone five feet before I was done.
After what seemed like ages of driving we finally pulled up my driveway and into the house. Once again, if there was a record for getting out of a car and into a building I would have beaten my personal best. Once I sat down I reached into my pocket and pulled out a copy of Pokemon Platnium and had the best time of my life.
When I was little I also had a DS, although I’m not sure if I’d have beat your record for fastest into a store.
I also had a DS when I was a kid, but my memory’s of gaming stated when my parents got me a gameboy.
It sounds like you really love your DS. I could definitely feel your excitement. Do you think it means more to you because you saved up for it? My boys saved up for a PS3 several years ago and they shared it until it came time for college. Now my younger son jokes about having to visit his PS3 in California!
I still remember when I got my first DS… I broke it… Heh.. I got a new unexpectedly when I got home from school one day! Then I knew it was my dad, he said it was a late present from Santa! Those were the good days..
