My son and I were passing the time, waiting for our meal at a restaurant, playing a game of tic-tac-toe. I am the unrefuted champion of said game. Try as they might, my kids cannot beat me.
We played three games, and each time I won. My son wasn't thrilled about that. So he tried a new tactic.
I drew an "O." Then he drew an "O" - with a smiley face inside.
I looked at him funny. "Dude, what are you doing? I'm "O," you're "X."
He grinned. "I'm trying to confuse you."
I shook my head and drew another "O" in the box.
He drew his smiley face.
I drew another "O" and connected three "O's" going diagonally across. It was my turn to grin. "Looks like you're the one who's confused!"
So much for his smile!
ReplyDeleteYes. That disappeared rather quickly!
DeleteMy dad used to be the champion. Used to be.
ReplyDeleteI'm the reigning queen right now. :)
when the confused become the confusee!
ReplyDeleteIt's amusing, isn't it?
DeleteWould have loved to see your son's face.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
He thought his little trick would work.
DeleteThat kid certainly thinks 'outside the box'. . .! Seems he's a risk-taker.
ReplyDeleteYes. I'm going to have to watch that one as he gets older!
DeleteA little tic-tac-toe competition is healthy in a family. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha! Yes, it is!
Deletelol he'll have to try a new tactic
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what that will be!
DeleteOH, boy, my children were always wanting to win at games!! They'd try cheating. They'd cry or sull up when they lost. Hannah even went through a stage where she wanted to invent games for us to play. She actually came up with one that was pretty good for a five year old!

Sounds just like my boy!
DeleteThat Bubba.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Sometimes that's all there is to say!
DeleteHow are you guys at Dots?
ReplyDeleteWe haven't played that game. I'll have to look into it.
DeleteFunny. :)
ReplyDeleteHe's a character!
DeleteI am confused too.
ReplyDelete:) do you play Tic-Tac-Toe in your part of the world?
DeleteBubba needs a coach! :)
ReplyDeleteI used to coach him. Not any more. He's on his own.
DeleteYou are the tic tac toe champ
ReplyDeleteMy kiddos love to play tic tac toe with me when at restaurants. Me? not so much.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely a kid thing. I do it, because it keeps him out of trouble.
DeleteYour son is just so adorable, Sherry. I think this should be the new way to play tic-tac-toe. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's certainly a creative way to play. You can make all kinds of faces in the "o's"!
DeleteI like that he's trying to be creative... that is cute Sherry ♡ ... I'm sure he'll figure it out soon
ReplyDeleteYes, he will. He just has to focus a little more.
DeleteMy gr-daughters occasionally let me win, letting me go first. Now we have increased the # of squares, so we are upping our skills.
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting. We might have to try your idea of increasing the squares.
DeleteYou have to do what you have to do!!!
ReplyDeleteToo bad it didn't work.
DeleteVery interesting post . further right

And how did Bubba take that?
ReplyDeleteHe was less than happy. :)
Delete:-)
DeleteI always thought I was the noughts and crosses (as we call tic-tac-toe here) champion until (weeps) one day I was the one left confused and beaten.
ReplyDeleteIt can happen to the best of us. :)
DeleteHa ha. I remember playing this and always ending up in a draw.
ReplyDeleteWe end up in draws quite a bit, too.
DeleteLol. Mamas are always one step ahead. :)
ReplyDeleteWe have to be!
DeleteLol. Mamas are always one step ahead. :)
ReplyDeleteBubba tried hard to beat the champion. I might've gotten confused, but you didn't. Hooray for Mama.
ReplyDeleteThis Mama still has her head in the game.
DeleteLOL. Kids and their logic. That sounds like something my Random would do.
ReplyDeleteKids are so creative!
