Don’t you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She’ll beat you if she’s able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet ~ Desparado
So, Amras is visiting for Christmas – well for the time in between his next contract that is, which happens to fall relatively close to Christmas – so since I got home, I’ve been running around considerably more than I usually would in my first week back (this is not a bad thing really), but yesterday I was sitting curled up in the living room catching up on Once Upon A Time when he stuck his head in.
Hey Sis, you almost done with your show?
Yeah…why?
And I walk into the dining room and he gestures to a card table set up there, with two wine glasses, and one sheet of paper turned faced down.
Have a seat…have a drink…
O…kay…
Right. Most important thing of all? The ability to keep a straight face.
And he flips the paper over, and the basic rules of poke stare up at me. My Big Brother is teaching me poker. Be afraid…be very afraid…
My father has proved rather amusing about this whole enterprise, he stood watching us play for a little while, and then shrugged
Watch it, she’s an actress, and she’s very smart and very logical…once she gets the hang of that she’ll cream you…
Heh, yeah…in my dreams…right now, I still can’t remember what beats what!
For now keep a little list beside you of what beats what, you’ll get it. Next thing you know he’ll teach you Magic: The Gathering.
I play with the chart of what beats what right at my elbow 😛
