He Beats Me Every Time
September 28, 2009
Whenever I play wii bowling with Miles he beats me. I’d like to say that it is because I don’t try. But that would be a lie. I still maintain that if we bowled in real life I could kick his ass. If only because I would have the advatage of actually being able to lift a 10 lb bowling bowl.
When we do go bowling I am going to do with a flourish like Miles. Not sure when exactly the next time I will be bowling since the last time I went it was for my oldest son’s fourth birthday party. BACK IN 1998! But when I do, rest assured I will be bowling like Baryshnikov.
In case you can’t make out what he says to me at the end:
Whoa, you are creeping me out.
What?
You are [dramatic air quotes] creeping me out [/dramatic air quotes]
Well, ok then.

September 28th, 2009 at 2:29 pmHa! That’s awesome. I pretty much suck at Wii sports…so I guess that is just in keeping with real life.
September 28th, 2009 at 2:45 pmThat’s so cute! I played a bit of playstation with my daughter recently and my person spent nearly all the game time smashing his nose into a wall or running into a room immediately after throwing a flash grenade in.
September 28th, 2009 at 3:35 pmPart of me worries that that is exactly what I would do in a real life emergency.
Ok, that cracks me up because my 7 year-old daughter has the same type of flair and style when Wii bowling. And she ALWAYS wins! She likes to spin around in a circle and fling her arms out. One day she discovered that she could actually take her turn while in a different room, so not even looking at the screen. I think she won that time too.
September 28th, 2009 at 3:43 pmI think it is so funny.
September 28th, 2009 at 3:47 pmChris, this is great. I shared the video with others in my cube farm, because they don’t believe my 6-year-old daughter kicked my butt with a 264 in bowling…while dancing.
Thanks for having the video camera handy. Validation is mine!
September 28th, 2009 at 4:38 pmOMG. Why are you creepin him out mom???
He’s bowling here! Important man stuff happening.
September 28th, 2009 at 5:10 pmPriceless! Now I think I need a Wii just so I can watch my kids play it.
September 28th, 2009 at 5:15 pmMy husband takes Wii Bowling very seriously and gets really into it — maybe a little less than your son, but still intense. I like to sit on the couch and bowl from there. I almost always win.
September 28th, 2009 at 7:35 pmHe is such a dramatic kid! So was my first - and still is, and then some!! Watch out!
Love the flooring - such a Texas house…I miss them so.
September 28th, 2009 at 8:20 pmOK, you would totally throw out your back doing that flourish with a real bowling ball! But I’m thinking jazz hands and a little dance step after releasing the ball would seriously improve any real bowling game.
My 4 year old was severely disappointed to find out that real bowling is not nearly as satisfying as Wii bowling, and he even got to use the ramp and the gutter rail things.
September 28th, 2009 at 9:08 pmYou are (whisper AND dramatic air quotes) creeping me out. AWESOME!
September 28th, 2009 at 9:43 pmToo cute. But I hear “what the hell are you doing to me now”.
September 28th, 2009 at 10:06 pmMy 4yr old keeps saying “You’re creeping me out” as well. Is it on a show or something. Kind of creepy.
September 28th, 2009 at 10:56 pmI love how his air quotes could double as antennae.
And, uh, really… sometimes you creep ME out, too. Just sayin’.
September 28th, 2009 at 11:50 pmHe’s so cute! My little guy is addicted to Wii…anything.
BTW your house is eerily quiet (yet gorgeous….)
September 29th, 2009 at 1:00 amI love the way the word creeping sounded like “quweeping”. Very cute.
September 29th, 2009 at 7:52 amTHE AIR QUOTES!!!
September 29th, 2009 at 8:13 amI totally understood what he said when I watched the video, I have a 4 year old. I want a WII!!
September 29th, 2009 at 10:40 amHe’s so cute. Do you like having tile in your family room?
September 29th, 2009 at 2:04 pmWow. Your living room is soooo clean. All that space for me to put my clutter!
The cleanliness is kind of …”creeping me out.” (The new internets catch phrase, ladies and gentlemen…)
September 29th, 2009 at 4:31 pmI sprained my shoulder (seriously) from too much Wii tennis. Be careful little dude!
September 29th, 2009 at 5:58 pmhilarious!
my 4yo son’s high score is 256 and when I bowled with him I wasn’t doing as well as he was and he said “maybe you’re just not very good at bowling mom”
I wanted to say “listen little dude… I used be on a bowling league… I have trophies!”
My parents sent him a little bowling trophy with his score on it….
*sigh*
September 30th, 2009 at 11:30 pmI think the cutest part is your giggle at the end. Too cute!
October 1st, 2009 at 9:53 pmtoo funny! I think the phrase ” You’re freaking me out” is from Ratatouille. He may have revised his own version to “creeping me out”
