As a dual child owner, I was shocked, amazed, and slightly horrified when my oldest went to this…place…called the “Brunswick Zone” for a friend’s birthday party. Now, quick backstory, I used to bowl A LOT. At 22, I was carrying a 189 average and almost went pro (moved and had kids instead…probably a good trade). I remember the league party nights where we had “rock and bowl” where all the lights were shut off and they played bad techno/pop/country/screaming trees.

Now, they have taken a very chintzy gimmick and turned it into a high-priced, overrated, and over-commercialized corporate theme, complete with blacklights, TVs, and lazer tag. Yes, with a “z.” It’s sickening coming from a purist’s point of view. Bowling was never supposed to be cool and hip…it was the activity for people like me who smoked, drank, ate bad chili fries, and wanted to do all of the above while pretending it was a sport.

Naturally, the kid loved every minute of it while small pieces of me died inside with every new indignity foisted on the game I really used to enjoy. The humanity.

My 6 yr old also is a fan of the claw machines. He refers to himself as the “Claw Master” when trying to talk me out of my quarters at the local Wal-Mart.

Love your blog<3

heh, too cool. I’m not a child owner but do have a teenage sister. I do tend to have some nice talks with her potential boyfriends. Probably don’t work but I bravely show the protective brother look, lol.

One of my self-imposed duties as an Uncle: Find gifts for my nephews that will annoy my sister <3

Last year's Christmas gifts – those huge nerf dart guns – and lots of candy.

Previous year's gifts – magnetix.

Not sure what to do this coming Christmas… yet…

My nephew is only two, but still working on that look. Almost never needed because he’s just so damn cute that everyone smiles and loves him even if he’s being mischievous.
All these posts are good fun to read, and make me add things to my “keep in bag at all times” list
I might need a bigger bag by the time he reaches school age!

And I thought it was bad now that my kid has just turned two. I’m soooo not looking forward to the Threes, Fours, Fives, Sixes, and etc.

At least we know we can all enjoy the misery together! Keep up the writing.

here are some helpful survival tips for next year:
1. only load up half of what you are planning on giving him. that way when he is done and comes and begs you for more, you can add it, and it may also help him to see there are other games he can play as well
4. you probably made out ok. each partially completed game counts as one game, so if you had 4 bowlers each on 2 lanes, then thats 8 games bowled
7. take a black marker and mark each childs name on the plastic cup. that is there cup for the day. if you want to be prepared, do this before they get there, however it is just as easy to do it as they get there drinks (takes a bit longer though)
