"I'm Undefeated...Really"

The grandkids have been playing Connect Four since we arrived yesterday.  They have played dozens and dozens of games.  It's back and forth between competitors.  I've jumped in and been whipped by each of them.

Now for the amazing news.  This morning they each claimed to be "Undefeated". 

How is this possible?  An example would be JR playing against Roseta last night.  He was so sure of his imminent victory that he announced to everyone that he was going to win on the next move.  Well, Roseta dropped the next chip and became the winner.  JR didn't see that coming.

That explains the undefeated status.  You don't actually need to win, you just need to feel that you should have won.  That simple.

This also explains other things in life.  Each of the grandkids are my favorite.  Each grandkid can do no wrong.  Each is also the cutest or smartest kid around. 

I'm so glad the grandkids take after their grandfather.  Sometimes it's best to be a little overly optimistic.

  2. Did you know that each of your kids are sure that we are "the favorite"? Well, your biological kids have discussed this (as adults, even. How mature!) I think your stepdaughter is valid competition, too, though.

    We just all love you SOOO much!
