Cheating the Game

This Tuesday evening, Dylan and his dad played a Memory Game after they had completed their dinner. Dylan was the ones who put the cards down on the table. While he was setting the cards down, he set the matching cards down next to each other on purpose. Actually, he was hoping he was not being caught while his dad was getting his bottle of water. Dylan did not know that his dad knew he was cheating the game.

His dad played along with him until he was not looking at the memory game. David took an advantage to confuse him by mixing the memory cards. Wasn't' that funny?

Dylan won the game: 20-6 at the end of the game. In our astonishment, Dylan used the gesture word, "Loser" in front of us! We were stunned. I then inquired him where did he learn this language. Can you guess ? If you had guess, it was from the kids at school. Nope! That was not the only place he had learned. It was from one of the "teenager" Disney shows. That was something I didn't expect to have any Disney shows would influence a child to learn this kind of language. Guess, we will have keep our eyes open for Disney shows!

Actually, David put all of the cards together to confuse Dylan. When Dylan saw the cards were close to each other, he was puzzled.

David said to Dylan, "You said, I'm loser?" He just chuckled at his dad then he tried to figured where the matching cards belonged. At the end, he still beat his dad.
