This is How We Bowl

Raising children is like bowling.
It starts with the bowling ball shape your pregnant stomach takes and trading in your heels for "something more appropriate for the game", to crib bumpers and safety pins, from setting boundaries and teaching them to toe the line, all while sparing their feelings and teaching them their dreams are within striking distance.
So with your child in your hands, you point them in the right direction and let go. You'll become that hand waving, knee jerking, hip swaying, "what would you call THAT grunting gesture", sideline parent you used to make fun of and swore you'd never be. Embarrassing them every step of the way as you "guide" them on their journey, with your Elaine Benes dance moves, in hopes that they will avoid the gutter and knock down everything in their way.
