Just cheating to win!

With the series of scorching hot days here, we opted to stay indoor most of the time and play a lot of games that suit everyone's mood. If we are not playing the Wii, we rather switch to something interesting and educational. Something that David can comprehend and understand where he can include himself. At this time that he is into learning numbers , we tried to play anything that is to do with numbers, like "trouble" and "snakes and ladders". He has more interest in "snakes and ladders" though, that we play it every night. He was a quick learner and was able to play with Dorothy by himself without me supervising him after a brief introduction of the game. When he became familiar enough with the mechanism of the game, time came that he learned to cheat in order to reach his goal of always winning the game. I first noticed it when the three of us played (Me, Dorothy and David), when he just needed only 3 moves more to reach his win that he didnt throw the dice, except he was just checking where was the 3 dots on the dice and placed it upright for us to see. He was caught right away and I called his attention that he was cheating and it's not allowed.. hehehe.

LOL, that reminds me of a scene in the movie "A Good Year" where the young Max cheated so he'll win in the chess match with his uncle. Unbeknownst to Max, his uncle saw what he did - moved his piece.

The uncle then told Max that one of the reasons why he likes wine is it's incapability to lie.Then, he asked Max if there's something he wants to say. Max replied, "CHECKMATE!"(lol) Kids!
