Charlie crossed his arms, getting bored of staring at his grandpa Ted as he read the paper. He’s always dreaded spending time with his grandfather. Before his mother dropped him off, he whined, “Do I have to? He doesn’t like me very much.”
“Oh, I’m sure he loves you.”
Charlie walked over to the bookshelf. “What’s this?” He pointed at the wooden box.
“Don’t touch that, that’s my cribbage board.”
“What’s cribbage?”
“What’s cribbage?!” Grandpa Ted flung down the paper. “What’s cribbage?” He sighed and muttered, “kids these days,” before demanding, “Pull up a chair, I will show you cribbage.”

If he’s anything like my grandpa when playing games, Charlie is about to get a merciless butt-whooping.

We’re trying to keep the hands on games alive with our grandkids. Cribbage is a good bonding game between generations for sure.

I had to google what cribbage was when I wrote the story but I could totally see how it’s a good bonding game.

Grandpa may be difficult, but he’s willing to educate the younger generation.

I think grandpa liked him fine- he just didn’t have easy access to communicating with him. Very insightful write.

Thank you. I think you’re right. Some people have a hard time expressing affection, even for kin.
