2 ways to play

Hey, Spunky.  Hey, Grandpa.  What are you guys up to?

"Dominoes, me lad.  A nice, friendly game of dominoes."

Cool!  Who's winning?

"Too early to tell," Spunky said.  "Right now, it's a tie."

"I've never seen dominoes played that way before," Patch said.  

Oh really?  Is there another way to play?

"Sure," Patch nodded.  "You take a whole bunch of dominoes, and you stand them up next to each other, like this..."



Oooooh.  I think I know what you're talking about!

"...and you keep going, and going, and going..." Patch continued. 

"Hey, don't use up all the pieces, guys!" Spunky called.  "Grandpa and I have to finish our game, remember?"


Grandpa chuckled as he glanced in our direction.  "Patch and Droopy, me lads...whatever you do, don't sneeze!"

    2. Great idea. Maybe you could get some gram crackers and marshmallows and make s'mores afterwards.
