Shane and I sat down to play a game of "Three" at the table the other night. You use Scrabble letter pieces and place them face down on the table. Each of the players draw three letters and you attempt to make words out of the three letters you draw. The first to form a word from their letters hollers, "THREE!" and all the players draw three more letters. If noone can form a word you each agree to draw again. Each word has to attach to the previous like on a crossword puzzle. You can switch letters around as you get them to form longer words and use all of the letters. At any rate, that was all extremely useless information as the details pertain minimally to my story but now you know a new game to play!! :) (Thanks Grandma Lengtat for teaching Shane and I on Christmas, lol.) So Shane and I draw three. No words. Draw three more. Well I'm over diligently working with my six letters trying to beat him to forming a word, and I hear him chuckle to himself. I glanced up... and then quickly returned to my letters. Shane says, "Do you wanna hear something funny, Mom?" I said, "But of course." Afterall, who in their right mind turns down a reason to laugh? He proceeded to explain to me that in the second set of three letters he got, one of them was a 'u'. He didn't want a 'u'. "So I flipped it back over and slide it into the middle and got a new one," he continued with a smirk. "And guess what it was?" he asked rhetorically. "ahhh 'u'!!" he exclaimed. "I think it was God saying, 'Nope, no cheating Shane.'" lol. I died laughing. He was quite matter of fact about it and figured he'd share the lesson... and the laugh.
So then tonight my brother, Tony, and his fiance, Stacy, came over. They were at the table playing Uno with Lacey and Savannah and Dion and who do I spy trying to lay down two cards stacked ontop of each other at one time??? TONY BOLOGNE!!! Uncle Noni!!! My brother tried to cheat!! AT UNO!!! Against his 4, 6, and 8-year-old neices!! lol.
But I don't cheat. No need to when you're as good as I am at everything. :P
