Another amazing AC moment happened today.
A little while back I posted mentioning my Mom bought the game after seeing my Dad play it. Well I should say she bought a XL and this game to play it. My Mom had never really played anything before that except for Tetris when the OG Gameboy came out.
Today she called me, she knows I buy turnips and dabble in the old Stalk Market. She has been keeping an eye out for me on prices. Anyways, I pick up the phone and she is all excited. She tells me that her turnips prices are 563 today and that my Dad is in there selling right now.
I dropped what I was doing and grabbed my XL and went to her town. Made a quick 2 million and dropped 1 million on the ground around her house. She walks over to it and calls me (she doesn't like typing on the game says it takes to long lol) she asked what I was doing and I told her it was a tip for helping me and to help get her started in the game. She gasped and shrieked like she won the Lottery. She grabbed the bells and made off like a bandit to pay off her loan and to buy, according to her, some much needed clothes and new shoes.
I sat back in my chair and smiled. Thinking that a day like this would never happen, my Mother who is almost 60 years old is ecstatic about a game. A game that I play too and so does my Father. It is very cool that a game can do this. It may sound corny to some but I am in my 30s and don't get to see them as often as I like, it is a great thing for us to do together. It brings a smile to my face, I figured AC GAF may get a kick out of it too.
Now to convince my brother to buy it.
