The Favorite game at Chez Jensen as of late is Chess. All except Senor Screamer are afficionados. Tonight I assented to a match with Nater. I will admit that there was some assistance to him by Maggie and Katie and that I was not entirely attentive to the game board and a couple of times I showed him how very advantageous the moves he had made really were. The end result was a complete loss of all of my pieces (except for the king, of course), a pawn that became a queen and a stalemate. All was fine-- My ego not bruised until he said:
"Mom, you're not very smart. You sacrificed yourself a lot."
He's Right. I have sacrificed a lot, but I think it's the smartest thing I've ever done.
