King of Stripes

The boys were bowling on the Wii this evening. Brennan will use a realistic bowling movement about half the time, but the younger brothers go through all kinds of gyrations to send the bowling ball down the lane. Elijah, especially, has been known to bowl backwards, spinning, lying down, and from the other room.

As luck would have it, they sometimes get strikes and pick up impossible spares. When Elijah bowls a strike he calls it a "stripe." When he makes more than one he says he's the "King of Stripes." When all three of them bowl a better average than me, we call it "time to switch to a different game."
