Every turn, move 1 space

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

As all may know, I have been working lately taking a lot of photographs of items at my father’s house. Last trip I came across something that I had totally forgotten about. It was so sweet to me that I thought to turn it into a little picture story.


Once upon a time there was a mom and her six-year-old son, visiting his grandfather’s house.

The son found a game that looked extremely interesting.



There was a problem, though. The rules to the game were missing!

This frustrated the little boy very much so together he and his mother decided to collaborate and write their own rules.

She began.



Then, much to his dismay, she insisted that as co-author he write some of his suggested rules down as well. It was a painstaking accomplishment, taking several minutes per sentence. She spelled out the words for kindergarten-him; he was worn out after writing.



At last they had finished and could play a game! The boy was very proud to win!


You can read the complete rules in a separate window by clicking the reduced image below.
