You don't know jack(s)

While J was visiting us, he had to have a quick trip to the urgent care clinic due to his eye swelling closed. He had a couple spots of infection under his eyelid, but with application of eye ointment, much screaming and squirming (him), and swearing (us, inside our heads), he got better. As a prize, he was able to pick out a toy at the clinc, and he chose jacks.

Now my mom used to play jacks when she was a child, but it wasn't something that my sisters or I had ever really done, although I remember mom trying to show me.

Mom is still pretty good at it.

J doesn't exactly get it yet.

But he kinda tried.

And his mom, K, gave it a shot too.

Me, I had played a bit before mom got there, but I am no good either. I much prefer to spin the jacks around and see how many I can keep going at one time. Ha!

Of course there had to be some reading via the NaNa after a session of jacks....
