I recently spent five o'clock, without a break, the children's table as any Chinese child picking a smartphone for the European market. I folded puzzle of 300 detalek. Puzzle presented to her daughter, but she had lost interest in him, as soon as I shook out package pile of colorful squiggles. "Shame on you!" - I scolded her daughter. - "Yes, you know how many children in Africa, dreaming to eat this puzzle!"
Although I persistently follow the main rule of puzzles assembly, which says, "Do not sneeze!", One of the detalek bastard so, somehow still lost. When in the second half of the night, I finally straightened with a groan, the left side of the composition, where in Spring Fairies were supposed to be the eyes and nose - an ugly gaping hole. (However, the absolute certainty that the trouble has happened exactly with the Fairy Spring - I do not have Her face is almost absent, and judging by the colorful along with peacock feathers, with the same success it could not be Fairy Spring and Philip..)

Resident puzzle
I felt about as Leonardo da Vinci, who after three years of work on the "Last Supper" came down from the platform, looked around with satisfaction the work of his hands, and suddenly realized with horror that I had forgotten to paint the fresco of Christ.
And I was so worried just because of the puzzle on 300 detalek! But there are sets and 500 pieces! And for 2000 !! And for 5000 !!! Vividly imagine this situation: Investigators inspect the apartment of man who died under mysterious circumstances. On the table of the late notice they assembled puzzle on 5,000 items. To be more precise: almost assembled. One Circuits lacking. Investigators look at each other, nod knowingly, "All clear - suicide."
Despite my failure to puzzles, I understand why they are so popular. Assembled puzzle for some time gives a false feeling that you have achieved something in life. However, I want to remind you that this is a subjective sensation, and it does not affect the size of the cumulative part of the pension. (Yes, really, until 2009 operated an exception for people who collected puzzle reproduction of "Black Square" of 7000 pieces. This category of persons relied certain relief on insurance premiums, but in 2010, the benefits have been replaced by a one-time gift of a souvenir room thermometer as Pinocchio. And for some reason, the lower half of his body.)
Puzzle with Kirkorov in everyday clothes - the only board game for introverts in our house. The remaining (and we piled in the closet about two thousand boxes) are designed for the active participation of all family members. Being attentive and caring father of two wonderful children Zoe and Fedi ... That is - Zoe and Seva ... Ugh! Sony and Seva ... Now. Like any attentive and caring father, a hell of my free time I have, gritting his teeth, I have to spend with their children. Anyone who has played with the child "to the hospital", he knows that it's just sad, sit in the queue to the therapist in this hospital, staring at the poster "Tuberculosis - the queen of diseases." Therefore, board games - a real oasis in the middle of all these endless "! Dad, put the doll dress!", "Dad, take away doll dress", "Dad, stop pop panties doll money from" Monopoly "," "Dad, I'm tired sit in the closet! Dad, where are you ?! Dad!!! Let me out !!! "
Manufacturers of indoor amusements usually do not lie when they write on the box "Great fun for any company." (It is not clear why the same sign and do not put on a bottle of vodka?) When an adult and a child sit at a table game, it is beneficial to both. Adult board games do not give a miss, and they help a child from an early age to understand that life - is a series of endless defeats and more experienced and intelligent opponent will always beat you with a crushing score. And then the tears will not help!
Of course, I'm kidding. Play with the children more interesting, you have to constantly give in quietly, allowing them to win and think that they are more capable than it actually is. That's about as personal secretary to work with Dmitry Medvedev. Although the board "Monopoly" and remains the only place where I was able to earn a lot of money, even though my mind and abilities, the game I do not like. It is too far from reality. Why is all the participants given the same amount of money and an equal opportunity? Is this true? And if I am a son or grandson of the deputy mayor? I think we need to write rules in place so that children of wealthy parents started the game with a big handicap. Plus, when you have typed enough companies and you will start to get a good income, a player must appear policeman and take away your business. That's when everything will be like in real life.
I remember, as a child, we all played a hand-drawn "Monopoly." Times were Soviet, so in my homemade "Monopoly" is also acting economic laws of the socialist system. Because of this, with me no one wanted to play. Friends do not like the fact that they just walked around and could not buy anything in my version of the game, because everything already belonged to the people.
By the way, if you're hot ... Damn! Well, what else is there? I can not work with that noise! I'm sorry, but that Zoe again calls me out of the closet. I'm afraid, for the time while I look for ear plugs, we have to interrupt our journey into the world of board games.
