games

Jump to Comments

i’m going to bend the ‘don’t write about the wife’ rule.  remind me never to play games with her.  yesterday we were driving with our niece’s daughter, trinity.  trini was in the back seat with her seatbelt on.  she had a few shiny oversized play coins.  she wanted to play the ‘guess which hand they’re in’ game.  my wife may be the best guesser of all time (or maybe she can see the coins in between trini’s small fingers).  so poor trini tried to adjust the rules that you couldn’t repeat the same guess twice.  just like a girl, bend the rules to assure that you win!

so next it was my wife’s turn to hide the coins.  well, right away she shakes the coins to make the klinking sound and drops them on the seat between her legs to hide them and put out two empty hands!  it was actually pretty funny.  poor trini got so frustrated that she couldn’t guess the right hand.  it went on for at least five minutes.  she finally asked for my help, my wife showed me which hand, i guessed the right one and trini got so happy.  she was determined to get it since my success bolstered her up.  the wife went back to the drop the coins trick and poor trini gave up right when we arrived at the pizza place.  lesson:  never play games with the wife.  she’s ruthless.  like i didn’t know that already!

take care
