Caught in the shuffle

Today, SnarkyMommy has attempted to drag the reputation of SnarkyDaddy through the mud. I mean, I haven't had my blog for a week yet, and she's already punching below the belt:

"Last night, Jack was downstairs playing with Josh and cleaning up toys before bed when he asked nicely if he could play Candyland. Because he asked so nicely and we had a couple of minutes, we said sure. ...I went in to see what in the world was taking so long to grab Candyland off the shelf and bring it in. I found him RIGGING THE CARDS."

What she calls "rigging" the rest of us refer to as "shuffling". No, SnarkyMommy apparently is not familiar with such advanced playing card concepts such as cutting the deck, shuffling, or even "Go Fish".

Okay, so I do shuffle cards face up, but this is just so I make sure I do an extra good job mixing them up. Most people see me do it and they're like "Dude, what a great idea. You're obviously doing your best to make this game totally fair for everyone." And that's exactly right - most people get it.

So why can't SnarkyMommy see it that way? Now, I don't want to jump to any conclusions, but it's overtly obvious that somebody can't stand the fact she's losing to her three year old. Come to think of it, I don't think she's won a single game of CandyLand ever. There, I said it. SnarkyMommy is the worst CandyLand player of all time. Luckily, our son gets his CandyLand skills from dear old Dad.
