Pick Up Sticks is a gentle game


which they play after lunch on Sundays.




MasterM is very competitive.


MasterM does not like losing.




Pick Up Sticks are sharp and pointy.

At both ends.



Pick Up Sticks are banned in ChezMagpie.


We have encouraged him to play Chess.


You can't do much damage with a pawn.

You could swallow it, or step on it, I suppose, but no, it's not possible to do much damage with it.

I love your perfectly illustrated stories, although without broadband (I know) it is a challenging process!

SAHD - Thanks for stopping by. I know about the non-broadband thing - we have only just had it installed - our previous computer was second hand when Noah landed the ark. It is great fun loading up all the pics but I am sure the novelty will wear off.

FM - you don't know how true that is. Monopoly is also banned because you can do a lot of damage with a little metal dog. You have got all this fun to come.
