A Poker-Face Slap

(We have friends over and are playing ‘Settlers of Catan.’ In ‘Settlers’ you use different resources like sheep, wheat, wood, brick and ore to build roads, settlements and cities. You can trade cards with other players to get what you need. My daughter, who is just beginning to talk, is sitting in my husband’s lap.)

Friend #1: “I’d like to trade a brick for a sheep. Does anyone have a sheep?”

Most Of Us: “No.”

Daughter: *looking at my husband’s hand* “Baaaaa!”

Husband: *face-palm*

(A bit later we are playing ‘Pit’ where you do very fast trades of different commodities with other players until you get all of one commodity. One of them is cattle. My daughter is now in my lap.)

Friend #1: “Come on! I want cattle!”

Daughter: *pointing to my hand* “Moooo!”

(Thankfully she has now grown to be a great gamer, even teaching her little sister!)
