When I was younger I had always wanted a gameboy, but they cost so much money. I finally got one for christmas a few years ago. I always tried to take good care of it because it cost so much and that would be the only one i probably would get for ages. I was insistant that if there wasnt a game in it and I turned it on, it would break and I would get in trouble. I was so afraid that would happen, then it did and my gameboy was fine. :)
