Adventures with Wii Sports

Child 2 got a Wii for his birthday (he's going to be SIX!!) and we've been having a blast playing it. We have 2 games: Mario Kart and Wii Sports.

I suck at both of them.

Now, there's 2 different ways to suck at something: 1. You're awful but it's a whole lot of fun so you keep doing it, and 2. You're awful and you HATE it. Child 2 and I are both #1 with Mario Kart and we have so much fun playing it. We do a lot of screaming (Hubs says "are you playing a game or having a knife fight?") and we can often be heard hollering at the top of our lungs "ROCKET CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!" I love Rocket Car.

I'm #2 with most of the sports games, although I'm much better at Wii bowling than regular bowling.  He loves them all, though, and insists that I play them again and again, despite my suckery. Some are worse than others, of course.

For example, golf. We've only played it once, because I absolutely refuse to ever play it again. Did you know that when you get to +8 over par they won't even let you play anymore? Even they know you suck at it and so they just make you stop. Probably to save yourself from further embarrassment? Thanks, Wii!

I've made you a poorly drawn picture of how it went down. Enjoy!

This just made me LAUGH OUT LOUD in a room by myself. Then I showed my husband and we LAUGHED OUT LOUD together.

Hilarious.

Shit.

Ohmyshit!!! Still laughing.
My recent post Fess up!
See this is EXACTLY why I don't play golf. I get so pissed at that stupid little ball. Don't even get me started on put-put.

They are the games of the Devil.
My recent post Summer Vacation Day One
I so relate to this - that is so me! I hate wii golf too and Mollie and Donna love it! Sword fighting in the wii sports resort is a big hit with Donna and Mollie too!
That picture had me dying!!
My recent post Furiously Happy
I think I've fared the same.
HA!!!! Wii putting is ridiculous, but my son has learned a lot from it. Such as how to throw the Wii remote across the room in a fit of anger without breaking anything, and of course the word "shit".
My recent post Kindergarten will most likely be the death of me.
Kiddo won't play wii bowling with me anymore because it is the only game I can play and I kick his cute little ass each time. Beware the lego games: Kiddo and Hubby have become lego star wars, harry potter, batman, indiana jones addicts. Seriously considering 12-step program. But it does get them out of my hair. Love the drawing.
My recent post Florence + Flowy Skirts + No Fights = Fab Night
THIS is why I don't play sports, real or fake. Either way I'm reminded how much I suck. Napping on the other hand? I have a PhD in napping. So I do that instead.
My recent post TRDC: Glass Slippers
We too, have the Wii. And we have Mario Kart.

And the last time (okay, the ONE time) I played it with the kids, they both ended up on the floor, laughing, tears streaming down their obnoxious little faces because I was just THAT BAD. I don't do things I'm not good at. So I refuse to play.

It's so pathetic.
My recent post moments. and poop. cause I like to be random.
There's nothing funnier than the truth. LOL This is hilarious! :D
My recent post Procrastination Gene Chews Through Brain!
If you think Wii golf is frustrating, you should get wii sports resort and play frisbee golf. I *RAGE* at that game...

Mario Kart, however, I'm da bomb biggity. :D

My recent post My manic montana marathon
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I love it! Zane has me playing LEGO Batman and Robin on the 360. It's only through sheer force of will that I haven't used a real expletive yet.
My recent post Randomosity-Political Edition
Golf is just stupid (and shit, obviously). I mean, a hole in one....a hole in one WHAT??? A birdie? An eagle?? What is it with the birds??? XXX
My recent post What Lies Beneath
You should see me at chop chop on Wii Party. Unstoppable.
We have the Wii and I've played Mario Kart...it is AWESOME! I suck at it but it's still awesome. The bowling is great, I'm actually pretty good at it. We've got the Wii Fit which I love! It's really great.
My recent post Wicked Wednesday - Bad Girl Bloggers!
Great cartoon! You're going to give BDA a run for his money!

One of my favorite things to do at Chuck E. Cheese is to have my daughter play a race car game. It's friggin' hilarious. We both bust up laughing as she drives off the track and into the ocean, etc. I think she drives extra bad on purpose. At least...I hope she drives extra bad on purpose!

My kid was a serious wii bowling savant for a while, but we never play anymore. The cartoon is soo funny, but you know what I like best? Look at your big smile each time you putt. You are so optimistic! Yeah, I know it's the same smile, but still. THE HOPE! Also: I want to get wii Napping. Even wii Lego Napping would work. Mrs. Jen B -- where'd you get it? I will RULE at wii napping.
My recent post To Go or Not to Go...
Hahahaha. I am giggling away here.
Hehe. Love this. :)
My recent post Um... Hi?
Wii makes mii crazii
I love your stick-people drawings. All the shits made me laugh. You are hilarious. Thank you for this post. PS: Re. your other post, my nephew is autistic and 10 YO. I'm pretty sure he's the type of autistic that does not want to make friends but the truth is I have no idea and that saddens me. How do I know? You know what I mean?
My recent post Two Cute Things My Kids Said This Week
This is how I am at regular golf [the one time I played] and at putt-putt. And at bowling.

I hate ball-centric sports.
My recent post Week in Review - Are you kidding me? edition
ROFL! Loved the graphics. So funny. I suck at those games, too.
My recent post No Romance
You play Wii golf the same way I play regular miniature golf! LOVE the pictures!
have you gotten better?
My recent post Extra Extra!!
A friend of mine made me help her install her wii fit. I stood on the damn thing and it told me I was old and uncoordinated. Nothing can tell you that just from standing on it. Wii and I have not been on good terms ever since.
