“I’m so glad you joined us for Game Night!” said my daughter as I stepped outside.
Though the weather was overcast, the temperature was perfect. I had on my work clothes–a button-down dress shirt and dress pants–with some grungy tennis shoes. I was ready for sport.
Game 1: Cats and Mice. This game was basically tag. I, a humble cat, chased after my daughter, a rambunctious mouse. Pretty soon, we were huffing and puffing. My daughter kept calling for a “pause” in the game, and I kept pretending she had said “paws” and tagged her.
Game 2: Dogs and Cats. This game was strange, especially since my smaller daughter was the dog, and I was the cat. She followed me around, attempting to scare me. I mentioned that I was indeed a member of the feline family, but I was no housecat. I was a lion. That changed her tune. Suddenly, she became a lion cub.
This evening, she fell right asleep. It’s almost like she was tired or something. Game night was a success. It’s supposed to rain tomorrow, so we may need to break out the Uno deck if we’re going to have an encore.
