"Ohhhh," said David, confused. "This is a game for the Wii. About going to church."
Both Cameron and David looked relieved when I separated the two gifts and explained that "The Mass for Children" was actually a book and the Wii game was about the circus.
You gotta wonder why there isn't a "Mass for Children" Wii game though. It could be a bunch of mini games to teach kids about how to behave at church. "Press B! Press B, Cameron!" I'd yell from the couch. "Sign of Peace!" Or they could make it compatible with the Wii Fit balance board and have games like, "How Long Can You Kneel?" and "Walk Up for Eucharist Without Stepping on the Heels of the Person in Front of You."
I can just imagine the shouts of excitement. "Mommy! I made it to Expert level on "Opening the Missalette to the Correct Page!"

Hilarious on so many levels! Seriously, you should write a piece on this -- a Wii game about church -- that's great.
ok, so I have to admit---my brothers and I spent many afternoons playing CHURCH. Who's turn it was to be the priest, the altar servers or who would bring up the gifts. We used a bed for the altar and a pillow case to put over the chalice and paten. The bed worked because at that time the priest didn't face the people.
Of course all prayers were in Latin--need I say more
I think my kids would add some challenges for the Wii, how long can you balance while standing one footed on the kneeler, can you pinch/hit your sibling without stepmom catching you, who can find the page for the song the fastest and therefore be allowed to ask first, "how much longer?", and perhaps my all time favorite, who can race (speed walking of course) to the front of church the fastest when the priest requests "all the children" to come forward without actually running. The prize of course is that that child gets to carry the bible downstairs for lessons!
