Since receiving it for Christmas, my daughter has played the game Pick-up Sticks each evening.
Until now, the game has elicited the worst in my daughter. She’s whined about losing, threatened to cheat, and quit because she’s not doing well.
Today, however, I saw something I hadn’t seen before: she was practicing.
While my father-in-law visited us, my daughter sprinkled the sticks on the floor and played with just herself. She wants to get better.
