• Peach Doesn’t Drive Very Fast

    And Peach also drives off the track. A lot.

    We got Mario Kart Wii today, and my husband is very good at it, and I still suck! Even though now I get a steering wheel instead of that stupid joystick like the Nintendo used to have. Peach consistently came in 12th place (out of 12) tonight. I think she needs to practice her driving.

    One time, when we were childless and just married, we had a Super Nintendo. We rented Mario Kart from Blockbuster for the weekend and played it for hours. I drove into walls, ran into banana peels, and fell off of cliffs. My husband circled the track like a Professional Race Car Driver. I never made it to the podium. Not even once. He even drove the car using his left hand only (he’s a righty), and sans glasses (he’s near sighted), and HE STILL WON!!! And I still drove into walls, ran into banana peels and fell off of cliffs.

    There is hope for me. Right?
