Local Dad Performing Praying Mantis Hand Motions With Wiimote

ANN ARBOR, MI — Local father Ron Cleary has reportedly been seen spending the day performing praying mantis hand motions in the living room in an effort to play a game on the family's Nintendo Wii.

According to sources, Ron has tried several different Wii Sports franchise games, tentatively waving the Wiimote around like a 60s Italian filmmaker trying to expand his art through an Eastern religious sect while quietly and quickly saying, ‘No, no, Daddy's balance board.'

Several people observing Ron's playstyle reported seeing Ron standing straight up then bending low, almost squatting; some even saw Ron stretching his arms down, pulling the motion detector toward the earth.

When asked about the odd hand placement, Ron said, ‘ No, no, Daddy's just getting everything juuuust right.'

Update: The praying mantis hand motions, and the game, were paused at press time due to a classic Nintendo chip minefield.
