"Wii" Can Do It

My family is on a quest for my little brother. A quest for Wii conquest

So this is how it started.

We (no pun intended) got our Wii a while back and is enjoying it, mostly just with Sports. Due to the facts that tennis is the easiest sport to play, I play tennis, and I was pretty bored during the summer, I accumulated plenty of points to make me a Pro pretty fast. Then Brighten wanted to be a Pro...

And that's somewhat of a problem you see, a four year old can't really understand why you tell him to swing a little bit higher. I'm not saying he's a bad player though. While I was gone for Nationals, my little brother apparently beat my parents several times (of course, when I came back, I whipped his butt... but then he cried).

Back to the topic, a kindergartner has a hard time keeping the score, nevertheless hitting the ball but he is doing well. The problem is that it's hard for him to get player points though. When he plays alongside with me, or one of my parents, we usually win, but little points is added so the only course for my little brother to go is to play singles. As you might imagine, he doesn't really have a descent ground stroke game, so he usually loses against better players (meaning no points).

Well, now when he plays, our whole family watches him to cheer him on. One of us is designated the "coach" and gives him specific instructions on what to do and the rest of us just cheers. If you were to record us giving him support, you would've swore that there existed an indoor tennis court here and we were developing the next Roger Federer. Yes, we are that tough. Here's some examples:

1. When he would scratch his feet, one of my parents would pause the game and wipe his feet for him.
2. When he loses an easy point, we would be on him, telling him what to do, in a second.
3. All of us would go "oohhhhh" when the ball gets called out.

So today, he finally got to the Pro level by playing a few short games. I was practicing my clarinet when he burst into my room telling me that he's a pro now... a few minutes later, I learned that he lost his next match and is now not a Pro any more.
