Checkered

So… I took MOG to chess club at the library tonight. She learned a lot but mainly giggled with a new girl friend she met. I, however, almost lost at chess to a 10 year old boy. He had me on the ropes but I suckered him into taking my rook while I snuck a checkmate at the other end of the board. I haven’t played in 20 years, so maybe I’ll try to brush up before I take on a re-match…  or… shudder… an adult.

I see what you did there

After swimming tonight we were heading to the locker rooms. I told My Oldest Girl to help by picking up her glasses and her membership necklace. She asked what to do with them. So I said, “Put one on your face and the other around your neck.”

When I turned around again she had the lanyard wrapped around her face and her glasses across her neck. We both cracked up.

She’s a funny kid. A regular bunch of comedians around here.
