As I was checking facebook and playing Sudoku this morning (I could do that since we were home for an “ice” day), Jairus asked to play Bubbles on the computer. Since I had no idea what he was talking about, I told him “not right now.” A bit later, he asks me again. I told him that I don’t know what that was and explained that next time we see Mamaw we’ll have to ask. “Well” he says (which BTW, that is his recent favorite word and he says it like a true southerner…Weeelllllllllllll) as he trots out of the computer room. He quickly returns with his own camera and then SHOWS ME PICTURES that he took yesterday at Mamaw’s of the Bubbles game!

Problem Solving
This story starts last night when Jairus and Joe returned home from Dallas. As I was helping Jairus out of the truck, I asked him where he had been all day. His response: “Playing with Mamaw.” I proceeded to ask him what they played. “I helped Mamaw play Bubbles on the computer,” he answered. Interesting. I have no idea what he is talking about, but sounds nice. Then our conversation moved on to dinner and other mundane items.

Now is that good problem solving or what? Unfortunately I still didn’t know what it was. Looked kinda like a tetras game. By asking Mamaw we learned that it is called Aqua Bubbles. Good news – I have now googled it! :) But now he wants to play green ovals. Looks like I have a problem to solve! :)
