Jacks

Jacks!

One of my Bowden classmates suggested we get together and play jacks. I'm not so sure I could play jacks on the floor. First there's the getting down there. Second, the getting back up (I would need assistance or a hoist of some sort). Third, my hands are almost always cold as ice, so bouncing the golf ball on the floor and swooping up the number of jacks I'm supposed to would be a challenge to say the least. Fourth, flipping the jacks could prove to be disastrous! Think about it! I would lose half (or more) of them when I flipped them into the air, and who knows what they would hit and break once they go flying through the air! Plus, there would be the risk of stepping on one of them in my bare feet. How about a game of Monopoly? Spades? Blackjack? Poker? I'm not any good at these games either, but I don't think I would get hurt or break things with cards. The dice? Hummmm...maybe not Monopoly.
