Dear Brandon,
(Everyone else can read this as well. I am just addressing it to this child's father because I'm pretty sure he missed this.)
As we both know, Cooper has recently discovered his size status in comparison to his smaller cousins. He has begun to use this to his "advantage" in games such as: knock 'em down, push 'em over, make 'em cry, and sandcastle (this is where you build a sandcastle on the other participant's head...sorry Kinners)
Well, late last night, Cooper discovered another game that takes advantage of his heightened ability to run, jump, and pester. Said game is entitled "Jack Be Nimble". The way you play this game is to lay one player on the ground (in this case, said player would be Payslei) and then you run your fastest and jump over the top of them. There is a extra added thrill/challenge, you might say, in that one tries not to land on one's opponent/teammate/participant. In this case I am not sure which of the following Payslei was suppose to be. (opponent or teammate) In fact, I'm not even sure if the challenge was NOT to land on her...that might have actually been the purpose for which the game was created. Maybe the game was Sqaush 'em flat, not Jack be Nimble.
Regardless, Cooper demonstrated the expert skill with which he played the game at poor Payslei's expense. I'm wondering if there is a limit on how many "Come to Jesus" talks a kid can have before he actually comes?
By the way, I'm pretty sure this little Jack be Nimble game was something you taught him. I believe you were playing it with him just yesterday.
Sincerest Regards,
Your loving (albeit exhausted) wife
You know Brandon, this game doesn't concern me nearly as much as the one where he takes Payslei by the hair and bangs her head repeatedly into the wall. I just don't understand, that obviously is not a fun game. "Is this a good activity??"
I can only imagine what duck duck goose is going to be like.

I can see that the boy has a bit of his mother's creative instinct - add a little testosterone and see what you get!
ReplyDeleteCooper be nimble, Cooper be quick, Cooper land on Payslei quick!!! Then rock her and sock her...Quick give her a kiss! Not to worry I just look at it as a right of passage. Jake used to torment me, JT well need I say more! I guess we just should be grateful to Gramps who came to the rescue! Becuase I was overcome with laughter!
