And since C&L hasn't yet sucked the life out of me (because somehow, and yes I know how lucky I am, we've always managed to finish a game in 8 minutes or less), I still play.

Is it wrong that when the kids aren't looking, I move their pieces closer to the finish line? It's just so incredibly painful to play. I like Memory, too. Oh, and Perfection - that game where you have to get all the yellow shapes in their proper spots before the timer goes off or all the pieces pop out.
