Last weekend, i tried to play Bingo with Holden. We agreed on the guidelines as well as he won the very first game. Ahh, however the second game was all me as well as therein lies the problem. He is completely my kid. He wishes to win all the time as well as he wants me to lose. He told me as much. Hmmm.
I did the “teachable moment” thing as well as told him that I wouldn’t play with him if he wasn’t going to comply with the rules. as well as we’ll try once again one more time. Afterward at dinner, he explained further, “I want to win each time as well as I want everybody else to lose every time.” as well as his dad echoed, “people may not want to play with you then.” I don’t keep in mind exactly how the conversation wound up… most likely something about Holden dominating all the world as well as then chuckling maniacally.
But I completely feel you kid. I am not a stylish or competitive lady in traditional ways, however when it concerns trivia or game shows, I cannot hold my tongue. I should DOMINATE. Or at least response very first every single time. If I am not answering first, I should be trying extremely difficult to persuade you that I’m a good person as well as not consumed with games.
I should blurt out as numerous answers as I can believe of on household Feud the second the concern is read. I wished to be on that show So poor when I was little.
I like Trivial quest as well as always response even when (or particularly When) I have no clue.
But for some strange reason, Jeopardy makes me take pause as well as response in my head to see if I’m right. perhaps it makes me feel like a dummy. It’s like that part of my brain where I always sing along the words to tunes however I turn toward the window if I’m not very sure.
So Holden, you come by it naturally. Luckily, you’re a friendly sufficient youngster that I am sure you will discover to solidify your lust for absolute domination in all games since you like to make other people happy. great luck with that!
Then again, he is only three as well as a half. So, what’s my excuse?
