Fading Parental Memory

We played a board game with Leilani. It’s name roughly translates to “Oh, I think there is a shoe…”. About 24 cards with colorful pictures are put face up on the table, 5 are covered with colored caps, a colored dice is being rolled, and you have to guess what’s under the cap, if you are correct you win the card and place the cap on something else.

The first 2 rounds Andy and I did not do too badly. Leilani played with the cards she had already won, when it was her turn she briefly looked up, guessed correctly and went back to playing. She had an unbroken streak of remembering about 10 in a row. Andy and I looked bad. Really bad. Leilani commented: “You should have brought your memory to the game”. It would have really helped…
