I have 2 stories to share

The Dsi Lite XL and 2DS that I got was on October 23, 2020
I was going into a video game retail store with my mom when I found this cool Nintendo Dsi Lite XL which was blue, I asked my mom if she could buy it, and she said yes because it was my early Christmas present, and the lady at the counter told me that the Dsi Lite XL that I chose had 26 games in it and she put the games inside for me. When we got back into the car my mom told me she had ANOTHER surprise and that turned out to be a New Nintendo 2DS XL, which was Black + Turquoise which ALSO had Mario Kart 7 pre-installed.

The next story that I have to share is about how I got my Nintendo Switch
I got my Switch on November 25, 2019

Mom took me to a Gamestop close to Target, we were there because I was getting new games for my Wii, I was admiring the Nintendo Switch, I was looking at the Just Dance 2020 game for Nintendo Switch, and my mom was secretly talking to the clerk while I was checking out the games, (keep in mind I didn't know about this until after my mom told how she got it) and they were secretly putting the Switch in my mom's trunk and I didn't notice!!! I said I couldn't find any games so we went back to the car and my mom told me to get her sandals, and when I went to the trunk I found a big box labeled "Sofia", my mom told me to open it and inside was... you guessed it! A Nintendo Switch and I was SO happy I SCREAMED of happiness and I screamed so loud that my mom had to cover her ears!!

For the Wii U It was around a year ago, soon after I joined here, like about 2 months after.... So we went to the same retailers store I went to when I got my DS, I was looking around when I found the black Wii U priced at 420 dollars, I begged my mom to please get it for me she said it was too costly, also same thing as Nintendo switch (Mom tricked me!) and she said that a couple got the console and I literally started to cry because I knew how rare it was to get a Wii U so then after she saw me cry bc I lost the console she said it was a lie and that she already got the console and I was so happy!
