those games you play
Two fun little games the boys play that drive me insane.
John Edwards: While walking next to a road, Andre will suddenly yell “John Edwards” and cross over (get it?) the road at a death defying moment. All people with him must also run.
I spy for blind people: Fun fact about me, I often lose things. And when I say ‘often’, I mean ‘constantly’. My phone, my headphones, my wallet and my shoes are the most commonly lost items. When I lose things, I search by myself for awhile, then make the terrible mistake of asking the boys if they’ve seen the item. What follows is always the same conversation.
Me: “Have you seen my black shoes?”
Clown: “Here they are.”
Me: “No, that’s an apple.”
Clown: “I see you’ve played this before!”
Me: “Oh, hilarious. Seriously though, have you seen them?”
Andre: “Yeah, they’re here.”
Me: “No. No, that is a fork.”
And then the boys laugh and throw their items at me and simply ignore any subsequent requests for help.
