Southern Alps versus Nintendo







Leaving the kilts and university setting of Dunedin behind, we set our sights on the town of Te Anau. The drives to Te Anau and then subsequently from there were just spectacular. The three adults lost their vernacular powers of articulate speech, settling for guttural spasms of "ooh", " ah" , and the ultimate kid nightmare, "honey, stop the car". Naturally, we encouraged our boys to appreciate the sites. Alas, their hand held Nintendo devices were more esthetically pleasing to their eyes.

My sister's boys are the same way. I've tried the guilt ploy in order to get them out from Nintendo, but when I tell them that all I had to play with as a child was an abacus, they don't know what I'm talking about.
