My parents are avid bridge players. They had me playing by 8 or 9. All but the oldest enjoys the game. The other two now aren't sure if I really enjoy their visits or just look forward to having a fourth for bridge when they're here. I tell them it's their wonderful company as I go to get the cards.

S -- <<I have a friend whose parents are nuts about games. They taught her to play all sorts of things when she was very young, and made her play regularly. For money. Her allowance. She always lost. She hated it.>> Waht a shrewd form of child abuse! I must remember to use this ploy at all opportunities. Except that my kids are smarter than I am, and would be cleaning out the checking account. Parents must be aware of their limitations to far greater extent than child-free people... Where you been?
