recently, benny went to his first "big boy birthday party."
his friend, Emory, turned four and had a party at a local place that combines an arcade, restaurant, and mini-bowling alley.
precious.
sort of.
in theory.
because the whole enterprise, being made of really little lanes, and rather tiny pins and bowling balls was really cute.
until benny picked up a bowling ball.
and turned around and made this face.
and i realized, oh crud.
someone just gave benny savarese a bowling ball.
who's the kid who insists on placing his face inside the bowling ball return?
mine.
clearly.
making mommy proud.
as a parent, "someone else's child preparing to throw bowling ball at your child" really isn't an image you ever want to see.
but, "your child doing victory dance?"
totally worth it.
