Time for an experiment. Explain all of them to Son #2 and ask him to grade them on a scale of 1 to 10.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-1131382539026953562005-11-07T11:55:00.000-05:002005-11-07T11:55:00.000-05:00I think that DBH's #2 may have a greater impact on...I think that DBH's #2 may have a greater impact on S2, provided that its framed the right way. I wouldn't necessarily call it "borrowing", as that might just set him off into another mussar speech. But mentioning that the fact that all players are agreeing to play the game, and are thereby being "mochel" one another in order to play by the rules, may appeal to him much more. <BR/> Then again, like tova, he may opt to never play this game again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-1131374191790121912005-11-07T09:36:00.000-05:002005-11-07T09:36:00.000-05:00That's a very good question, steg!
