    Tim, Sree’s just jealous he didn’t think of it first.  Teaching care tricks and unmaking magic, is an awesome idea.  And considering I’m in a very similar situation with my new grandchild, I thank you for the suggestion.  I even have a couple years for learning some fancy card tricks before its time to put the plan in action.

     

    Though something you said reminded me of when I was about 10 years old, family visit with friends for some holiday.   An older relative of the family a college kid (hell could have been a high school kid for all I know, they all looked pretty big to me).  In any event, this guy taught me poker and we played a few hands and I kept winning (no clue if he let me or genuine beginners luck).  I walked out with my winnings of a few quarters and I felt guilty about taking the poor guys quarter for the entire drive back to my home.  Kept telling myself we were playing a game but it felt more like stealing.   Yes, our inner nature has a way of revealing itself at tender ages.
