So we’re visiting my family in the San Francisco Bay Area, and Richard has installed an Xbox into their system. My nephew has a wii, and he loves it. Needless to say, Richard is now his hero.
One of the games we brought for family-holiday-fun was Kung Fu Panda. I loved the movie. Just loved it. You can imagine how much I love it when I discover things like the Panda Quake and maneuver Shifu through the clouds. This. Game. Is. Adorable.
For the first time, I became obsessed. It is so bad.
“Do you want to play?” (this is me)
“No, I just want to watch you.” (my nephew)
Several minutes pass, and I’m having trouble.
“Can I try… let me try… I think I can do it.” (my nephew)
“Let me just try again. I thought you only wanted to watch.” (this is me)
AM I NOT THE WORST AUNT EVER? I got that glaze I’ve seen so many times.
“Wow, Christine. I have never seen you like this.” (this is my brother)
Me neither.
Anyway, eventually my nephew played. When it got too hard, we called in Richard.
