Funnily enough

Sometimes getting back home, I will be greeted by neighbour's daughter who, like my cousin and apparently other small kids, have a penchant for my iPhone. Most like my "fish" game and Sneezies and one or two like my ice cream game. My cousin likes Hangman but since he barely knows how to spell, I end out playing most of the time and he waits for the "yay!" to emit from my iPhone's puny speakers, which more often than not, makes him giggle and he then proceeds to ask me to solve the next dozen puzzles - which I do, most of them unsuccessfully.

The thing about all of them is, they all clearly know the line - how to ask nicely for it, how to behave with it and most importantly, when to stop and hand back the phone - which is more than can be said of some of the people we meet in our lives. You would think a couple of years of experience would count for something. Apparently not. It really is quite strange.

  5. Our 5yo granddaughter likes TicTacToe with grammy and Up and Blowfish by herself. I'll have to try sneezies.
    But yes, she just gets in the car and asks for the phone.

  6. Joe: Sneezies is awesome! And if you really want to know the ice cream game is called Ice Cream Tycoon and the fish game is FishFrenzy. Other notables include tumblrdrop and Cube Runner.

    The first thing my cousin asks for when he comes around to my place is me and then...you guessed it...the iPhone.=)Cheers!
