Candyland gators

Grandboy has spiced up our Candy Land game by introducing Alligators.

Each has a unique number that indicates how many spaces back we go when we land on one and it bites us

Quit stairing at me

Grandboy: Mama, do you know why these (points) are called ‘stairs’?

Mamasan: No, why?

Grandboy: Because you STAIR at them

Mamasan: …

Grandboy: Haha

Mamasan: … Grandboy: 😀

Mamasan: WHERE do you get these from?

Grandboy: Gwumpa

Yay! My legacy shall live on

Grandboy (honking a bicycle horn repeatedly in the house): GWUMPA STOP (HONK) ME I CAN’T STOP (HONK) HONKING THIS (HONK) HORN!!!

Me: You can stop yourself.

Grandboy: NO I (HONK) CAN’T YOU HAVE (HONK) TO STOP ME

Me: Nope. You have to figure it out on your own. Someday I won’t be here to stop you from honking that horn and it’ll be too late for you to learn.

Grandboy: GWUMPA

Me: Figure it out. (Later)

Grandboy: I did it Gwumpa. I’m not honking the horn any more!

Me (takes the horn) (HONK)

Grandboy: GWUMPA
