Bowled Over

We ditched climbing to go bowling.

It was an eye-opening event for the Monkey Girls.

It was so wrong yet so right.

Here is a list of our wrongs:

1. We wore the wrong clothes to bowl. I think standard bowling attire is a polo t-shirt and khakis/trousers and socks for hygiene purposes. We were in our climbing clothes and had no socks. Horror of horrors. The bacteria we must have picked up from the rental bowling shoes...

2. We had a variety of (wrong) moves. Monkey Ears, being the gentle soul that she is, would demurely roll the ball down the lane and would end off with a curtsy. Monkey Paws (the Frou/Terminator) would throw the ball in the middle of the lane and it would hurtle at breakneck speed and crush all the pins. Think Highland Games when the Scottish giant tosses the log. Monkey Bum (that's me) would free-style and moonwalk at the same time.

3. We had wrong scores. Dismal. The Frou set out to beat us. Being the tyrant that she is, she declared that she was going to CRUSH us. And she did. However, when we looked at the scores of the people around us, we realised that they crushed us all.  

For our next bowling event, the Frou is determined to get the Iron Hand (we are not sure what it is really called) to strengthen her Highland throw, and a customised bowling ball in pink. So wrong yet so right.
