Games We Play

We all have those parent/kid games that we play and sometimes use to our parental advantage. Ever heard of the Quiet Game? I thought so. This was Kaelyn's favorite game when she was little. This and Ghost in the Graveyard. I was a great parent. She would just lay there quietly. :) Little did I know how it was just a preview of the teenage years.

Rory introduced me to a new game that I am going to suggest we play quite often now. It's called the Spa Game. Here's how it works.

I lay on the bed.
She puts a toweled pillow under my head.
She puts a towel along my hairline on my forehead.
A cold washcloth is placed on my forehead.
A fan is positioned a little distance away on low and rotating.
Then she leaves the room.

Her assistant, Marley, wasn't too keen on the idea of leaving the room. She kept coming in and adjusting the fan level to high. Eventually (about 5 minutes) Rory came back in and I got up. Then it was Kevin's turn. I told him it was a good time. Unfortunately, Marley again had a different idea to the care of Kevin, so when he laid down, she proceeded to whack him with the Whack-A-Mole paddle(might I add that it was not in a...welcomed...area?) Needless to say, I don't think Kevin got as relaxed as I did. It was nice. I can see this being added to our daily schedule.

Sorry...I didn't get any pics. I'll be sure to take some next time...tomorrow.
