#46: Family Game Night

Friday night is traditionally nacho nite. This Friday we also decided to make it a family game night. Pete is just coming into the right age for that, and Henry is always down for whatever.

The game we can all handle right now is Shoots & Ladders, or in the version we have, Slips and Ladders.

Henry was in the running for a while but hit a big slip and bounced back to the start. But he was stoic about it. Pete and the parents wound up in a three-way tie one move away from the finish line. This was the moment for Pete to learn a Big Lesson. He spun a 3 but wanted a 1, so he moved the arrow to the 1. We told him he couldn't cheat, he threw a fit, and waaah, waaaaah, it was off to Time Out for a Conversation.

He came back like a trooper though, actually apologized and even acted like he knew what he had done wrong. And then he won honestly. Good times.
