"Grandpa school"! What a great idea!

You're a good role model, Pat. I either ignore it or correct it without confronting them over it, assuming they just made a mistake and it's my job to help them do it right. Just played Parcheesi with my 8 yo grandson this weekend and he routinely miscounted his moves, but he's now old enough that he doesn't get discouraged if I send him back home. But, sometimes I don't take advantage of such an opportunity, either. Is that cheating in reverse?

You're an imp, Jeri!

I love finding activities that leave the video games in the backpack. The value of visits with grandparents is uninterrupted face time with adults, so it needs to be fun!

An age-old problem, Jon! You take into account their age and decide if you are going to call them on it or let them think they put one over on you, or don't even know they are playing wrong.

Thanks, Krista, for welcoming me to your blog. I love this book, full of stories that end with questions that slip math in. Overdeck is a stay-at-home Mom with three children.She eventually started coming up with three levels of math questions when her third, a two-year-old, asked why he wasn't getting math questions at bedtime like his older siblings. She said math at their house is "like dessert."

I love the idea of writing 100 zeroes, Susan. It seems to make the number more real.

What an interesting concept. I do have a story about our first date, a blind date, but it wasn't my expectation and overshadows our mutual decision to get married 2 days before he reported for his draft notice.

All my smoothies are banana, milk and some fruit. Thanks for the suggestion about adding peanut butter. I know my grandchildren will love it!

I yield to the logic of children!
