One of my dad’s associates brought over a “spinning top” over for my eight year old nephew to play with.... he had fun with it for a while.... I was demonstrating how to do it correctly and we had a little competition.... I’m not sure if this is considered cheating or not but I didn’t give him a full explanation on how to do it correctly so I naturally won the first couple of games.... after a comfy lead I told him what to do and he eventually got the hang of it.... I know for sure he was breaking the rules though because we were supposed to release them together and he ended up doing it five to ten seconds after I did... I gave up on the game when the score was tied and told him that family wasn’t supposed to beat each other... he was satisfied with that answer and went back to playing with his computer.... it was nice to have him enjoying an activity that didn’t involve any electronics because that’s where his nose is ninety-nine percent of the time.
