Photo A Day: Winner takes it all
Posted under Photography
It’s pretty monotonous being a stay at home mum. Sometimes I like to shake things up by playing poker with the children in the afternoon. Mostly we play for fun, but sometimes we make it interesting and play for money. We’ve slowly worked through their Child Trust Funds and have made a good start on the Child Benefit too. That’s what it’s for, right?
Here’s Diggy (handle: “Prince of Darkness”) caressing his stash of black chips and pondering his next move.
Later, we used the chips to play shop with. In our shop we sold fags ‘n’ booze. Never let it be said that I lack inventiveness or imagination as a parent. It’s a kind of gift actually…
Here’s another choice of gaming for you, and it doesn’t include bets: tiddlywinks. If the kids are drawn to counters/chips, they’ll adore tiddlywinks! :-)

What’s wrong with poker, fags and booze? Every kid should know how to play poker….we learned how to play black jack when we were old enough to know how to count the cards and then five card stud, draw and seven card draw and Oh, I can’t remember all the variations my folks taught us.
I bet it’s fun playing at your house!~

Wwwhhhaaaaa you are nuts girl! although it’s highly educational I’m sure!!
I had every intention of teaching mine to bartend… But now they are too old and just might start taking a nip of their own. I cannot brook sharing my stock!
Ha ha. This made me giggle. I don’t see either you or mr s gambling but I can see diggy doing it whilst Bertie begs him not to risk rye family crochet.
A scene straight out of a recently read book called Privileges. But I think you are kidding . . . right?
