The Way They Should Go

Last night I overheard my children discussing which game to play before bed. My youngest said to her sister, "Which game do you like better? Uno or Poker?"

What have I done? Where did I go wrong??!

Boy, is Nanny going to be proud, or what?

Gwen said...

Only if they bet their entire savings on two pair. ;)

It worked, didn't it!?!

Charlene said...

Hey, this is great... what's life without poker, as long as they have the basics... then learn to gamble. hahaha. You are so funny Gwen!

Shan said...

What did you do wrong? Hard to say. I'm a bit concerned, but I guess it's not really so bad. Just gradually phase out Uno - maybe replace it with blackjack - and before long they'll have forgotten all about it.

ha ha ha - too cute!! (and yes, I mean YOU Gwen!)

Ames said...

Shan, Wise advice. . .Obviously, you are a woman we can trust. . .

I'd wait until they were out of the "poop joke" phase to teach them craps, though.

This reminds me of Fagan in "Oliver."

(To the children:) "Shut up and drink your gin!"
