It’s driving time for the boys. Charles is enjoying Midtown Madness again. He’s driving the F-350 truck (in black). I can still reach around and blog while I hold down the accelerator for Charles. Corwin has rediscovered his Hot Wheels Stunt Track 2. This is a much simpler game, where you are forced to run along a track (it’s Hot Wheels) but you can make jumps. While in the air, one can spin the car (pitch and yaw). Doing this and landing successfully generates “stunt points”. Last time Corwin played this (about a year ago) he couldn’t do the stunts at all. Yesterday he started playing again and working on the stunts. Today he was in fine form, getting (as he says) “some gnarly air”. The game counts up the number of stunts per run. While Charles is driving Corwin managed to get 32 stunt points. He got very excited. “Thirty two stunts! Wow!” He jumped up on the chair and started dancing. Then he was back to racing again, saying “I hope I get even more”. But first I send him racing out to tell Mom. Mom is very excited as well, as you can imagine. Next time Corwin gets 33 (Mom is stunned at the news), but then Grandma arrives. This doesn’t initially slow Corwin down until I whisper to him “I think it would be better if you played with Grandma”. Corwin is disappointed until he gets a bright idea - Grandma can watch him drive! With Grandma and Mom watching, Corwin really goes for the gusto and gets 54 stunt points. His audience is suitably impressed and Corwin acquieses to doing something other than driving, basking the glow of his stunning performance.
