A Day In the Life - Act 6
He believes the grandkids like him. For they know when asked to “watch” the kids that is what he does, he watches them. Unless there is danger of immanent harm he figures that they “will figure it out”. He doesn’t make a habit of “letting them win”. They once caught him cheating at Chutes and Ladders and refuse to play Candyland with him anymore. He does pay his debts so the kids will challenge him and when they win……they win big. He refuses to play video games claiming that his fingers are too large and the buttons too small.
