Just so you know

For all the so-called education I've gained since the boys were born, I still haven't learned how to play certain games with them. Those games bear evil names like Pokemon and YuGiOh. As far as I can tell, to play these games you must fork over your meager allowance in exchange for cheap, printed paper. Next, throw all of your new pieces of paper in your closet. Haphazardly. Then, wait for the screaming harpy you call, "Mom." Finally, scowl as you pick up said pieces of paper and shove them under your bed. Wait for next round of harpy shrieking. If you have enough pieces of paper stuffed under there, you might get to see the rare blue-cheeked howler. For extra fun, leave them scattered all over the living room rug while insisting that you did, in fact, clean up all your things. This brings on the red-eyed, wailing banshee.
