If you don’t have a Wii, you can probably skip this post. If you do, you’ll be aware that each player gets set up in the system. There is a whole elaborate system where you can customize the players (AKA Wii Mii’s) to resemble the people in your home. My little daughter loves this customization process. My husband’s the tall one with the blond crew cut and bright blue eyes. My teenager looks dramatic with her dark brown eyes. My 11 year old has made a Wii Mii version of herself with cute red hair and freckles. Prior to yesterday, my “Mii” was an attractive woman with a corporate bob and stylish glasses. Yesterday, in the ultimate way of saying, “get with the program, Mom; you don’t have hair and won’t have any until summer”, my daughter re-did my Wii Mii as a bald woman.
With a stroke of the Wii remote control, I went from being cool calm composed career lady to chemo cancer chick!
I thought this was a sobering moment, until my husband reminded me that she did it with a total light-hearted feel, maybe showing us that she’s dealing with all of this better than we are……………
