Excellent advice from zing, Gavin. Ive found the older you get you tend to get more of these sorts of gifts from loving parents who think they are getting you something you'll really like, in my opinion Gavin you'll have to chalk this one up to experience, then when your next birthday is approaching drop a few hints as to what a "friend" has just brought, and how "it" is the latest thing to have. But in the meantime do as uncle zing says, thank your mum profusely and tell her you love her, she sounds like a very special mum.


PS Could you not tell mum that you or someone else also brought you a Wii?, that way you might be able to send it back to her. She might be able to give it to someone else in the States for a gift, or even sell it.
