Today my mother-in-law and I took the girls bowling. Big Girl has decided she loves bowling and wants to go bowling daily or play it on the Wii. Every time we drive by Fast Lanes she asks if we can go. I have learned some things the couple of times we have gone.
1. I am a terrible bowler. The first time we went we bowled 2 games and my scores were something like 75 and 100. This time I scored 82. This is not good considering my mom used to bowl league. I should have some bowling skills from that I think. Can you learn to bowl through osmosis?
2. My girls are ready to go after 8 frames. This would be fine if bowling were 8 frames but it is not. The last two frames I had to bowl for Little Lady. This was a wee bit interesting because I got to bowl with the bumpers....I only hit pins during those times because I had the bumpers (see #1).
3. I am jealous of the girls because they get to use the ramp and the bumpers. I want bumpers! I might bowl better (see #1).
4. I am thinking it is the shoes that makes the bowler so I want pretty pink shoes. I could coordinate my outfit to always match my shoes. If I can't bowl well I can at least look pretty while doing it.
5. My mother-in-law is very competitive. She almost does a dance when she does well.
6. My girls excitement should become my excitement. They are so cute jumping up and down just at hitting a few pins. Why can't life be that simple and that sweet?
Bowling.....yup....lessons, shoes, and cute outfits....that's what I think will make me better. If not, maybe I can just remember to have fun. After all....I am with my girls.
