The Great Gaming Guru

I have played the Wii maybe 10 times.  We don't own one, but my parents do.  I haven't been able to play it while visiting because I am usually wrangling some small person.  Now that the small people have slightly more control over themselves and can manage a staircase, I have been able to indulge.  Today was Drake's second time playing.  The score in our final game of bowling was 172-165.  He had me beat the entire game until the final frame.  Thank goodness I threw that spare, or I would have been beaten by a 3-year-old.

At dinner, my father jokingly stated, "You know, other mothers would let their kids win."  Nope.  Not me.  Why?  He usually wins on his own.  He skunked both Tim and I at Candyland the other night.  First the Rainbow Bridge, then the Ice Cream Cone.  With the bowling today, first frame-- spare; second AND third frame-- strike; fourth-- spare.   He has such luck with games.  If he's this lucky with kid games, maybe we should teach him poker next.
