yesterday while sam and i were playing phase 10, i was ahead of him 2 phases. this made him a little upset and he threw his cards down in rage and said he wanted to quit. this is the conversation that followed:
me: sam, you can't quit just because you're not winning
sam: but i get so angry!
me: i know, but think about it this way... when you have a soccer game and the other team scores a point, does your coach tell you all to quit and just end the game?
sam: well, nooooo
me: see, it's just like this then. don't quit.
sam: uh, that's not why though... the other team never scores.
me: okay fine. basketball then.
sam: nope, we're undefeated there too.
i guess i'll teach him about being a good sport another day.
