Experiments in getting to the point.

Orison beat me 2 to -1 in our new game, “Make It Touch the Ceiling.”

May 1, 2008 at 12:47 am · Filed under Parenting, Personal, Recommendations

Game requirements: helium balloon, ceiling.

It’s especially fun because dad can’t win. There’s no way for him to score.

Them’s the rules.

That’s right man, teach him to take out the legs, and get his body in the way between you and the balloon. (Red Robin always supplies the balloons in our house… ;)

Are there fouls?? Hilarious stuff. Good to see there’s other parents with such dedication when it comes to competition!

You may want to give volleyball a try as well - we do it over the couch. You could do it over the dining room table - it’s a blast! OR another variation of the game - don’t let it touch the FLOOR. That gets really tricky! (Shoot - more than 22 words this time! DRAT!)
