Okay, Benny likes to play checkers -- he learned it on MSN Messenger. So yesterday I got him a checkerboard and he was very delighted. As he went to bed he was saying "Tomorrow we can play checkers in the living room and then we can play checkers in my room, and in the front room, and in Sadie's room, and in Daddy's room..." blah blah blah. So this morning I hear him thudding down the stairs so I start getting out of bed, I nurse Sadie, etc. etc. I finally come downstairs and he's playing checkers in the middle of the floor in the living room. The board is all complicated and people have been getting kinged and whatnot.
Me: What are you doing?
Him: Playing checkers!
Me: Who are you playing with?
Him: With him. With Benny.
Me: Oh, okay. Well I'm going to get the coffee started.
Him: Wanna play checkers with me Mom? Benny, it's Mommy's turn now, to play checkers. You have to move.
