And, after winning a hand, he asked me, &#8220;if I was letting him win?&#8221; I said &#8220;heck no, U got lucky, why?&#8221; he then asked, &#8220;if I ever let him win when he was younger?&#8221; and I said, &#8220;sometimes, only cuz U would get so mad when U lost.\u00a0 But not always, cuz U also needed to learn U don&#8217;t always win all the time &#8211; just like in life. Besides, believe it or not, losing helps U learn.\u00a0 And, it should also encourage U to play harder to win at your next chance&#8221;.\u00a0 He said, &#8220;Touch\u00e9, good point!\u00a0 Now deal, I&#8217;m winning the next hand too!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>See why I love being a parent so much&#8230;\u00a0 A best-friend and a son tied into one &#8211; that&#8217;s a double Giddy-up!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I received this awesome Father&#8217;s Day card in 2012 from The Son of all Sons &#8211; Mr. Brett Boldt Cool!
