Raising a Cheater......

So let me set up the following two videos for you.....Ashlyn and Chloe got a lot of board games for Christmas.  We probably spend an hour playing games each night.  Chloe could care less if she wins or loses.  In fact she'll walk away from a game, come back five minutes later, ask if it is her turn, then go back to what she is doing.  Ashlyn, on the other hand, can not stand to lose.

 So tonight, we were playing a match game.  I was winning(we don't let them win:).  It was her turn and she told me to close my eyes.  I asked her why and she said she didn't want me to see which card she turns over.  I closed my eyes but turned on the video on my phone.  She never noticed until I said something.  Then she got really mad--see video one.

She continues to cheat and I call her out again and whiny-I-can't-understand-you-bc-you-are-whining Ashlyn comes out.  It was all I could do to keep from laughing.  After cutting off the video, I explained that nobody wants to play with cheaters, cheaters never win, blah, blah, blah. See second video.

I thought I solved the problem.  Then we went on to play Ants in the Can.  She beat me the first game--she is pretty good at this game.  The second game, I was winning and only had one ant left.  She picks up her three remaining ants, puts them in the can with her hands, and yells that she won.  I guess I am raising a cheater..............
