We had a big storm in the Bay Area this weekend. The media was making a big deal about it. I personally felt like it was a mountains-out-of-molehills situation. The West coast wanted to out-do Hurricane Sandy; impossible. Still - we stayed indoors mostly over the weekend. The Hubs took Diego out for a bit of shopping and they came home with a new winter jacket and an Angry Birds (or "Ache-y Birds" as Diego calls them now) board game.
Diego was excited about this game. I wasn't so sure if he would get it (the box said ages 5+). It requires a special way that the slingshot needs to be held. Also, launching the bird to hit the pigs takes coordination. But -
He knocked them out on the first try. The kid's a genius.
The game comes with cards that
some sucker I needed to use as blue-prints to physically build each level. After the thousandth time of building the levels, I got lazy and thought I could pull one over on him, and I built a half-assed level. The kid's a damn inspector. As soon as I told him I was done, he pointed out that I had CLEARLY missed the star.
