Playstation\XBox vs WII

So I heard something today that got me thinking about life, growing up, money, etc. A friend of mine said he was thinking about buying his child either a Playstation or an X Box for Christmas. Well, I knew he already had a WII that rarely got used...so, thinking I was helpful...I said something to the effect of, 'oh, you could always sell the WII'... Meaning then he would have the money for the game thing he wanted, since the other one didn't get used. I thought that's what I grew up with so to me that seemed logical. I got home now and it suddenly dawned on me that some people don't have to give up one to have another. So me thinking I was helpful may actually have been annoying, like I didn't think 2 were necessary! Duh Heidi! I know it could have been perceived that way, which was meant by me as a way to have money to buy it! It took 6 hours for me to realize that some people can afford to buy and have both! Anyway. This is just another example of how you grow up affecting the things you say or do as an adult. All I would have needed was for my friend to say, oh, sell it to have the money? No I have the money! Lol. I knew he does in the 1st place that's why its so funny to me. But, sometimes it takes someone saying it to dawn on ya! Oh well. Kind of a funny story now, but tells the moral, which is... Don't assume what someone says is what they mean! Communicate! Ask them if you don't understand why they would need to sell their WII! Ha. The other moral? I think if you CAN have both a Playstation or X Box AND a WII, do it!! Most people want better for their kids than they had... So, why not?! :)
