Fun Games To Play With Your Five Year Old Son Named Samuel

Sometimes you're at a coffee shop, and you just want to play a loud and obnoxious game with your kid, you know?

Game #1
This is pretty much your standard distract-your-child-so-you-can-tickle-him. I suggested this game to Samuel, referring to it as "That Game Where You Raise Your Arms For Fun." Here's how it went down:

Me: "Hey, Sammy. Want to play a game?"

Samuel: "Sure!"

Me: "Ok, raise your arms for fun!"

Samuel: "What?"

Me: "RAISE YOUR ARMS FOR FUN. DON'T YOU LIKE FUN?"

Samuel: *raises arms*

Me: *tickles Samuel* "Tickle time! Tickles are fun!"

Samuel: *shrieks* "No! What? No tickles! NO TICKLES!"

Game #2
This game involves telling your son to reach down and pick up an imaginary penny. You actually say "imaginary penny." Then, when he reaches down, you tickle him.

Game #3
Pretend to play Go Fish with your son. Tickle him a lot.

Ok, so basically all my games involve tickling. Ok, so they're not really games. Ok, fine. Reading this was a giant waste of your time. I'm sorry.

Today was filled with tickles and cupcakes. Today was a good day.
