Every once in a while I need to be reminded that Asher is only 3. Tonight was a prime example. Amber was away with Nate at a volleyball match getting some much needed away time and I was left with the boys. After putting Caleb to bed, I whipped out Sorry! and set it up for Asher and me. He had been asking to play and so I figured why not.I asked him before we began if he indeed knew how to play and he assured me that he did. He said he had played with some close friends of ours. I checked the age on the box and it said 6 and up. This gave me cause for concern, so I prodded a little further and I found myself persuaded that he in fact did grasp the basics of the game.
It didn't take long to realize that I had been duped. I tried my darndest to explain the dad blamed game to him, and finally after what seemed like an hour, but was only 5 minutes, I realized that I was playing a board game with a 3 year old and no amount of reason was going to work.
I still don't understand all of the rules of playing the game Asher's way, but he assures me he won and that Daddy did good too.

That is hilarious! "After what seemed to be an hour but was actually 5 minutes." I can think of a few times when that was me and Corban - not with Sorry but other aspects of life.
