Conversation With My Nintendo Wii Balance Board

Posted 30 November 2009 in by Catriona

I swear, this conversation actually took place this morning:

BALANCE BOARD: Good morning, Treena!
ME: Good morning, Balance Board.
BALANCE BOARD: Were you busy yesterday?
ME: Well, more “slightly hungover” than “busy,” but in a manner of speaking, yes.
BALANCE BOARD: Do you remember what you told me last time you put on weight?
ME: . . . No.
BALANCE BOARD: You said you hadn’t been exercising!
ME: Did I? Well, that seems plausible.
BALANCE BOARD: If I remember correctly, you said that the time before, too!
ME: This is getting a little creepy, now.
BALANCE BOARD: Let’s make sure it doesn’t become three times!
ME: . . .

I’m past coveting your Wii balance board and now I think I would want to slap it for talking to me like that. The same way I want to slap those cars that tell me to put my seat belt on … mind you own business inanimate machines !!!

I don’t mind cars that tell me to put my seatbelt on: better that than forgetting and going through the windshield. And at least they’re not taunting me about my weight.
