Noah's New Game - AKA Rock, Paper, Scissors update

Noah is very creative in making up his own rules to games we play - or even better just making up his own games. Some of you may recall my past posts on my triumphal Rock, Paper, Scissors matches with Noah (For more on the this epic battle, click here). He finally got tired of losing all the time so he came up with his own version -

Laser, Booger, Nail - here's the rules for those of you who want to play and teach your kids...
Basically the same as R,P,S except Laser (gun) kills Nail, Nail (that's fingernail by the way) beats (or insert "picks" for a better understanding of the rationale here) Booger, and Booger somehow beats Laser (the rationale is a little weak here, but apparently he thinks a Booger could cover up the end of the Laser gun and keep the laser from working).
So there you have it.

And by the way, someone needs to inform Blogger's spell check that Booger is an approved correct spelling.

In unrelated funny Noah stories, for those who haven't seen him lately he is now proficient in not only armpit farts but also in behind the knee farts and ear farts and I think he stays awake at night trying to perfect others. Oh, the joys and talents of a 1st grader!! Keep watching the Suns halftime show - we're hoping he may make it on right after one of the dancing dogs or something.

Sorry to any of you who may find this post crass in any way - guess you've never had a 7 year old boy. I'm sure my mom never had to deal with anything like this :)

Jeff and I think the game sounds like lots of fun! Plus, having boys makes it that much easier to see his thinking on the whole thing : )-

I don't know about you, but I think that instituting the "Laser, Nail, Booger" game in creative meetings will really help streamline the descision-making process.

We'll have to watch out for Greg though. Something tells me that he'll go for the booger win more often than not.

Uncle Rob wants to know what the actions for Laser, Booger, Nail are? Did you get that far with this new game?

I really don't think you or Matt ever could do the armpit, knee, ear (etc., etc.---) farts nearly as proficient as Noah. He has exceeded my wildest dreams as a grandmother!!
