Ben Ownby, who was returned to his parents less than a week after being kidnapped and kept in an apartment with a 15-year-old who had been missing for four years, is starting to try and get back to a normal life, AP reports.

Recently the young teen's family gave the boy a Nintendo Wii. Ownby says he wants to be a game developer or pilot when he grows up.

Still wearing his Boy Scout uniform, Ben sat down in front of everyone and began opening his present, which was buried in a big blue bag beneath wads of red paper.

Behind his glasses, his eyes grew wide.

"Oh my God," he said.

"What is it?" someone called.

"The Wii," he said in shock, referring to the newest Nintendo video game system.

More than a dozen of Ben's relatives chipped in to get him the gift. An avid player, Ben said he wants to design video games when he grows up. And be a pilot.

A fast-talking kid with a logical mind, Ben rattles off the names of his favorite jets and video game makers with equal enthusiasm.

I still think the teen's interest in video games plays a bigger role in this abduction that we've heard. Brian Crecente
