Since I spend much of the days with our 4 year-old daughter, we occupy much of our time with various types of games. One of which is "Pictureka!". This is a game that my daughter has memorized and mastered. She has developed cognitively quite a bit over the course of the year. We are very proud of how she's progressed in various ways, but especially how she's increased her capability to grasp new concepts.
On the other hand, I fear that there is a strong possibility that I may be becoming dumber. This theory is supported by the end result of a recent spirited match between #3 child and myself. My pile is on the left. Sadly, I was trying to win. Even cheated a bit. The problem is that she's an even better cheater than me. And evidently she has a better short-term memory and vision which are both required to do well at this game. What's even more sad on my part, is that I stole one of her cards from her pile and added it to mine when she wasn't looking.
