Mom was in the mood to get away from the routine and change things up a bit.
Behind the couch we have a handful of board games that we used to play frequently. Being the natural competitors than we are - mom and I would frequently challenge each other to games, most often Scrabble or Yahtzee. These contests faded out once you were born. No fault of yours, just the direction life took us with a new baby in the house.
She thought we'd try and play a board game as a family for the first time tonight. The thought was there but the focus on your part was absent.
The evening began with a rousing game of Sorry! which we made it through two turns each before your interest was lost and you just wanted to arrange the game pieces on the board by color.
Next, mom brought out a Fenner family favorite - Yahtzee. Obviously you won't be keeping score, and there's a lot of math involved so I probably shouldn't be either, but you could at least shake up the dice and toss them into the box.
The "action" kept you interested in this game a little longer but by the time we got to the end of the round you were pretty well over it.
It's a bit embarrassing but I must admit that I only beat you by one point.Yahtzee isn't my game. Neither is Scrabble, or anything else really, when you're mom is involved. She always wins.
But hey, a W is a W no matter how close the score.
