Wii should move

I've heard that the reason for the nationwide shortage of Wiis this Christmas is because older folks are buying them for health reasons and using them in lieu of a gym membership. I don't doubt it - the day after I boxed the holy livin' sh*t out of my husband, my shoulders were sore as all get out.

But I think the physical fitness aspect of it is lost on my children, especially the youngest one. I walked into the living room a few minutes ago to find her on her back in the middle of the floor, lazily waving the remote in the air. I looked at the TV to see her Mii (aka Wii avatar) golfing.

"Kady Dawn, what are you doing?"

"Ummm....goffing."

"You are supposed to get up and move when you play the Wii."

"Why? Daddy was bowling in his recwinew wast night. He got a stwike."
