Global Pursuit
Today we achieved a long time wish of mine to play Global Pursuit with the children. M and G played with me and it was nice how fast the play was. G knew every answer even the level 3 ones. I was jealous but able to switch my perspective to be pleased that he knows so much. That's my son! I always felt so dumb playing that game with my older siblings. That's life. But it's also perspective.
I'm grateful that playing group solitaire with the P family has helped me just enjoy being a part of the game. I have won maybe 2 games in the 20 years I have known the P family. I know the rules, and I enjoy being included and that is enough.
This week G goes to NY for a math competition. He's had a few upsets this year. The Battle of the Books team didn't make it to nationals. He got 2nd place at deafinition after winning it the last 2 years. As he goes to NY for the math competition (flying out at 3:30AM!) I hope he remembers to have a good time meeting other smart kids and just to enjoy the experience.
As Rachel Coleman says "We win because we play."
