Been letting him win for a while but today on Rainbow Road he legitimately smoked me. He came in first, I came in 5th. He was screaming with excitement and I've never been more proud of getting wrecked at a video game. That's the goal right, raising someone better than you? Mission accomplished buddy.
That's the dream right there. My oldest is still a ways off from beating me but I'm already dreading the day it happens. Enjoy that feeling while it lasts.
Rainbow Road is no joke man, that's huge. That moment when you realize they're actually getting better at something is wild. Congrats to your kid!
This is the best kind of dad loss. The screaming with excitement part is what it's all about. He's going to remember that forever.
This is huge. My oldest beat me at Mario Kart last month and I felt this weird mix of proud and ancient at the same time. Now he wants to play every single day thinking he's unstoppable haha
Rainbow Road is brutal though, even when you're trying. Did he do the shortcut jumps or just nail the regular line? Either way you gotta let him bask in this one.

That's the moment right there. Rainbow Road too, that's not a luck track. He earned that one for real. Bet that felt different than the times you let him win.
