Have you played Indigenous?

This family loves to play games including cards, put together Legos and other things of interest to the boys. Yesterday we played "Oh Hell," sometimes called "Oh Bother." The whole idea is to help the boys learn the ideas of trump and bidding, as well as playing the game. When we play the game with the Omaha grands, they love to play the final hand by holding up a card to your forehead, not looking at your own card, of course, but getting to see all of your opponents' cards and then betting if you might win the trick. It is politically incorrect in Ann Arbor to call this hand "Indian," of course, so we decided to call it "Indigenous." It was so hysterical that we had to keep playing the hand several times, much to the enjoyment of all. Christian's face gave away what he was thinking, and so it went.

Later we played Yahtzee, and then it was bedtime for all. A wonderful day! Happy travels.
