Shark

Abby is a card shark. Given her two ruthless card playing grandmothers, the poor girl doesn't have a chance to fight it.

This means I too often bear the brunt of her sharkiness. She gloats -- a trait that I think is rather unbecoming of an almost six-year-old.

I'm rather suspicious of the child. I make her cut the deck, and I think the next time we play I won't allow her to wear long sleeves.

But, every now and then I do manage to win a game or two. Abby doesn't like this of course, but I'm attempting to help her be humble.
