The Jayne Train children like to play board games. Truth be told, the older 2 parts of the Jayne Train like to play board games with them also. There have been many exciting games of things like: Life, Monopoly, Chutes and Ladders, Crainium, and various other games that we find in our game cabinet. Lately the girls have been wanting to play Sorry a lot. The great part about this game is that even the little girls have just as much chance of winning as the big ones!

| The latest rousing game of "Sorry" |
After a tiring weekend of busyness, we decided Sunday afternoon would be a lazy day, just hanging out watching movies, napping and playing games. After a couple movies/snoozes, the oldest 4 girls in the house (once being my lovely wife) gathered at the dining room table for a rousing game of Sorry, which ended up lasting 1.5 hours. This game give them chance to be mean to each other without getting in trouble, so I think that is why they like it!
My favorite part of this game though, involves #3, Sarah. Every time someone draws a sorry card and chooses to pick on Sarah, their sarcastic "Sorry" that they tell her as they knock her piece back to start, is answered by a sweet and sincere "I forgive you" from Sarah! She is usually just oblivious to what is going on and just happy to be able to play with the rest of them. The next best part is the fact that Sarah usually ends up winning somehow! Which just goes to show that you do not need to think about your moves too much in the this game. Just draw a card and move the first piece you see! I will have to try that next time, since all the thinking and planning I do in the game usually end up with me in last place!
