Playing Uno with Lydia
“Lyd! Wanna learn a new game?”
“Sure!”
“It’s called Uno. I played this game with Grandma when I was your age. The goal is to be the first to get down to one, or, Uno, card. Whoever does this first yells ‘Uno!’ and that player wins.”

Lydia asked, “What does ‘+4’ mean?”
(seriously?) “Well If you lay that one down, I have to draw four cards…and…you just put down a Draw Four card. Thanks.”
“Can you use a Draw Four twice in a row?”

“Uno!”
“You little hustler!”
