I’m a lousy athlete and capitalist. This also includes board (bored) games (except Scrabble, of course), and I laughed out loud at your FB friend’s kid’s “glad it’s over” as a reason to be excited to find the last match. I am much more aligned with the Special Olympics paradigm of competition. And, as someone who is also excited for the end of the game, whatever it is, and as someone who has played a few hands of Old Maid with Sophie in my time, I must point out that Sophie also strategizes, distracts her opponent, and sometimes even cheats. She is a bundle of complicated, beautiful contradictions, no?
