Since Evan and Drew were going to Grandma’s together for an overnighter, Evan wanted to teach Drew how to play checkers so they could play with Grandma.
Evan: “When you play checkers you have soldiers and they go over to the bad guy’s side and when the soldiers get there, the bad guys make you a king. Got it, Drew?”
Drew: "Are the red ones the bad guys?"
Evan: "No."
Drew: "Are the black ones the bad guys?"
Evan: "No...(pause)...the OTHER ones are the bad guys."
Drew: “You need to write that down so I can remember. Is that all?”
(Write it down? Even IF Evan could write, Drew can't read!)
Evan: “You move the soldiers and they can jump over the other guys but when they get to your side and you make them a king, then they can move anywhere.”
So there it is -- checkers instructions from a 5-year-old. Pretty good, eh?
