Guess Who?

Mom told me a cute story about the time the boys spent at their house over the weekend.  It involved:

I loved this game as a kid! 

Mom and the boys were playing it little bit differently than how it’s intended to be played.  Instead of asking questions to find out which card the opponent has by process of elimination, they play together and start with all of the pictures up and then knock down pictures that share certain characteristics.  For example, Mom would tell them to knock down all the men.  And then knock down the ones with brown hair, etc., until they only had one picture left.  Apparently, the fun for them is in identifying the characteristic and then knocking it down.

Then the boys took turns deciding which characteristics to target and eliminate. 

The cute part was that Mom said whenever it was Jett’s turn to call the shots, he would always work it out so that Bill was the last one left.  You know, Bill – the middle-aged, balding, rosy-cheeked, chubby, red-haired gentleman. 

There’s just something about Bill.

After I heard this story from Mom, I asked Jett about playing the Guess Who? game at her house.  He immediately mentioned Bill!  Nothing specific about him really, just that he was his favorite.

I have no explanation.
