11. "Pick A Small Object To Be Given One Day To Your Great-Grandchild. Write A Letter To That Child Explaining Why You Have Chosen This Object."

To my great-grandson,

You're not alive yet, but when you get alive I'd like you to have my Nintendo 64.

I know that in your time you've probably got some crazy video games where you actually are the character or something, but I'll have you know that back here in my time people play N64, and your great-granddaddy is the shit.

I'm including a small stock of all your essential games: MarioKart64, a couple of the original Mario Parties, James Bond: Golden Eye, Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball, Pokemon Stadium, Donkey Kong 64, and of course, the original Super Smash Bros.

I tell ya, I'm probably dead now in your time, but if you rolled me out of my grave I could still probably whoop most of your friends at Smash Bros. I used to run game on people over here. Everyone tries to act like the second and third versions of the game are better, but between you and me, everyone who really matters knows that the original is where boys become men.

Actually, come to think of it, you're probably playing Smash Bros 25 or something... That's a weird thought.

Well no great-grandkid of mine is playin' that crap. You need to get back to your roots. We're a Super Smash Bros 1 kind of family. Understand?

Now, why am I giving you these?

I want you to have these things because they brought me a lot of joy when I was your age. I don't know exactly how old you are right now, but these things brought me joy from when I was like six to right now when I'm 21, so. Ya know. Chances are.

But yeah. I just want you to be happy. I don't know you yet, and hopefully I get to meet you before I die, but I want you to know that your great-grandfather loves you very much and he always wants the very best for you.

That's why you should throw away that Smash Bros 25 shit and play a real game.

But anyways, much love! Keep up in school, although it's gonna be tough with all these new games, and be nice to your parents. I love you, but I love my grandkids too, so be coo.

Much love young Arciniega, and welcome to the family.

Sincerely,
Your Great-Granddaddy Joe
