Board Games for Us
Child is ill today
Mimi and Papa came
Let's play some table games today
That's what she wanted to do
Trudge upstairs game closet
It's Chutes and Ladders or
Sorry games choice
Down we come with both
Back to bed Sorry first
Pick the pieces get the dice
Open the board place the cards
Cards slide off back on they go
Roll the dice falls to floor
Play another day
Won't play in bed
Had we played it would have been
by the rules the box or hers
She's oh so competitive
For her it's win or bad game
It runs in the family
Winning

You have to pick your board game spots carefully, otherwise you loose too many pieces and can't play them again.

Sick days are fun because of games in bed and eating in bed (you need a tray that is made for the bed with legs :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute - boards don't work so well on beds. /fun one, Jim :-)
ReplyDeleteFun take on the prompt. I always spent my sick days reading in bed!
ReplyDeleteSometimes you do long for those rainy days because of the board games.
ReplyDeleteA lovely family vignette, regardless of whether the games were played or who might have won.
