The Nerd and I, we know all kinds of ways to have fun.
Like last night, for instance. We stood on opposite sides of the dining room table and folded four huge baskets of laundry. Intensely exciting, as you might well imagine.
Other times, he'll sit at one end of the living room checking a bunch of stuff on his Iphone while I sit at the other end, doing the same. Occasionally, we'll share something funny or profound that we come across, and since it's too much trouble to get up and show the person what is so stinkin' hilarious, we'll just text each other the link. Yeah, 'cuz we're cool like that. I'm pretty sure we are going to be the "fun parents" as the kiddos get older.
Apparently, we need to get out more. So we did. Friday night we had a "date night" at the bowling alley. (I put date night in quotes because a. the baby was with us, and b. it was a church activity.) Still. It was loads of fun. I should clarify here that neither the Nerd or myself are talented bowlers. Unless you count bowling on the Wii, at which I am a pro. Also, neither of us are really sure what proper bowling etiquette is. Nonetheless, we joined up with a couple of young men from our church and bowled away. (haha, young men = men in their early twenties, otherwise known as practically babies). I am pleased to say that I came away with the high score of the night - from our lane, that is. People started clapping as I celebrated my victory - the clapping quickly faded when they realized my score was only a 138.
Regardless, it was rather a good time. No one was seriously injured, and we never did accidentally send the baby down the lane. We probably ought to do stuff like this more often.
Just look at that handsome man-face! No way I'm gonna say no to spending more time with that! ;)
Hooray for bowling date night!

ReplyDeleteIsnt it amazing how young people in their early 20s seem now? I can't imagine what it'll be like when I'm 80.
