Duo

We have a card game, which is kind of like Uno, I guess, but it is called Duo. My youngest son loves to carry the cards around and talk people into playing this game with him. This morning, he talked his father into playing but forgot to tell him a couple of important rules and before they played, the little one "personalized" the deck so that he would have all the wild cards. The little one won, of course, but not by as much as one would think. Daddy's pretty smart too. We've had a few talks about how what one person might call "personalizing" the deck other people might call it "stacking" the deck, otherwise known as cheating ...he still does it, he just tells people up front that the deck is "personalized." This means that his siblings won't play with him and he has to find a kind adult to play, usually grandma, but sometimes mom or dad. He's been trying to teach grandma to play chess, but somehow, she hasn't caught on. You should hear the explanations ...
