Magic

It was back to LRC today, and there was much less stressing! In fact, stressed out boy from last week didn't even mention middle school today. He came in and unloaded his entire backpack (not exaggerating) and handed me a couple decks of Magic cards. I asked him if he wanted to play and he said, "If you wanna." So I said ok, and he "taught"me how to play. When I saw "taught" I basically mean, he told me to play a card and I'd show him one at a time and say, "Can I play this?" until he said yes. Then he'd play a whole bunch of things and start moving all the cards around and announcing I now only had 10 points and he had 15. I don't doubt that everything he was doing was perfectly legal, but I wasn't exactly being kept in the loop! Eventually, after attempting in vain to summon the right creatures and attack dear student, he put me out of my misery and destroyed me. I was baffled by how complicated the game was! I think I'll stick to Catan.

The rest of the day was just gravy. I think for a brief time I was in charge of 3 students at once. The rest of the day I pretty much had one at a time. It was nice.

He never told you how to play? Funny. That's one way to ensure a victory. Right up there with changing the rules as you go. Glad the rest of the day was gravy. Hugs, Rhonda

Sounds like an interesting game. It's easier to win when your opponent hasn't a clue what's going on. Sounds like it was a pretty nice day.
Love you!!! MOM
