Eight+
(I am taking the cues for my blog post titles from Google+)
OK - I am relenting and letting my dad run my blog for a few more years (just like he runs my life ... (eye roll)). Moreover, I heard that Twitter is more fun than blogging as one can write only 140 characters. (Also, I heard my dad say "Who wants to be on the same social network that their parents are on?" when he received a Facebook invite from grandpa).
So, let me fill you in with happened since my last blog post - I turned eight in March and much to my parents' consternation, I am continuing my streak of tantrums and naughtiness. My dad wistfully referred to it as the "X+1" syndrome possibly hoping that I will transform next year. (Maybe he should start thinking along the lines of a "Four-ier transform" instead of one year).
I had a ball at my birthday party at Strike Cupertino (Ed's note: Not "Occupy Cupertino"?) bowling place with a bunch of my school friends. We had a lot of food and fun - (even my parents snuck away for some drinks with the other parents). The actual bowling game was also interesting - the bowling places have come a long way in recent years and now they are almost as good as my XBOX Kinect Bowling game. (How did daddy manage gutter balls even with the bumpers up?).
I finally completed my check-box items / table stakes / baseline activities of swimming, skiiing, skating, biking and Bollywood dancing (although I wish my mom would stop referring to someone called Elaine every time I dance). I am also slowly getting interested in science and I seem to have a knack for finding fault with everything or pointing out why something will not work.
Other than my activities, we have been traveling quite a bit. We went to Orlando last winter for my mom and me to see the Harry Potter theme park and my dad to ponder again on the inexplicable draw of these theme parks. And more recently, we went to LA and San Diego along with my cousins who visited us from the UK. They had a funny English accent and kept saying "brilliant" all the time but it was a lot of fun hanging out with them.
