Bracken and I pulled out the playing cards tonight to play Speed. It's been a few years since we have played. It was a nightly thing as newly weds and we'd joke that the landlords thought we were fighting because we got a bit loud in our competitiveness.
We're still a tad too competitive. After Bracken won twice I needed to
break his ego nurse my wounds so I got out our new card game, Blink. I beat him easily at that game and my happy feelings came back. One more game of speed where he beat me and then he popped popcorn for us both. I think this should happen again. (but with me winning of course)
Now it's not our landlords I have to worry about thinking we are fighting but our kids! I hope they've had enough experience in our game playing to realize we know it's just a game...arguing over who's card hit first and who won is all part of the fun.
