So my kids are really into playing chess right now. They are 5, 6 and 7. Here's the thing. They do not know how to play chess?!?! It's hilarious because they think it is just like checkers. Who am I to tell them they are wrong? I myself have NO CLUE how to play chess. So my Kolton is begging me today to play chess. "I'm sorry brother, I don't know how to play." "It's easy Mama," he says, "It's just like checkers except for checkers doesn't have a clock you hit when you get to the other side." Not too confused, but interested in his answer, I ask..."What's the clock for?" "Well, instead of saying king me, when you get to the other side, you hit the clock and say, check me. So come on let's play." I have to say, that is pretty good insight. I mean why else would they be hitting a clock at the end, right? Oh, how I love how their little minds work. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to play a game of chess.
