- My SIL and me took my stepdaughter Maya (10) and her daughter Ryan (6)
- bowling the other day. I din't want to go at first because I figured
- that Tatijana (2) would probably not do any good. She's been very clingy
- lately and I could just see her getting hurt getting hit in the head by
- a bowling ball when she runs up behind me .... (isn't it funny that you
- always imagine the worst..) Well, Maya talked me into it anyway - she's
- real good at that. And we _did_ have a great time. Tatijana sat there
- the entire time and watched us. She occasionally commented on our
- style etc. and seemed to be having a good time, too. At the very end, when
- we had finished the second round, we still had a couple of minutes on
- the clock (we had the lanes for 2 hours). Maya helped Tat to push a
- ball by "herself". That just made her day - she was soooo proud.
- For the rest of the day she kept on telling evrybody who would listen
- about it. "And I pushed the red ball really hard - and it rolled
- like this (imagine the arms just having a great time showing it)
- - and it didn't hit anything".
-
- Her last ball, by the way, didn't quite make it all the way to the pins,
- it rolled in the gutter and came BACK to us. I didn't know that it was
- physically possible for the ball to come back. I thought there was a slight
- slant to the lane and the gutter.

- PS: Ryan was a lot of fun, too. She'd just stand there and basically drop
- the ball. It would then zig-zag down the lane and,utilizing every uneven
- spot on the lane, come to rest within the pins. She made second place
- on out first round...
