Neighborhood gang, take 2

Corwin has been spending a lot of time with two boys (Andreas and Matisse) who recently moved in to the neighborhood. Over the last couple of weeks, he’s gone over to visit them at their house about 6 or 7 times. They hang out at the bus stop together in the morning as well.

Today, Andreas came home with Corwin. I had a special treat for Corwin waiting. The other boys play Magic and I had loaned Corwin one of my decks to play as well. This had been a source of concern for me, as the deck was full of out of print, impossible to replace cards. To minimize the risk window, I had mail ordered some preconstructed decks which had just arrived. I let Corwin pick one out to be his so that I could get my deck back While I was doing this, Andreas was telling me that I shouldn’t because

  • buying Magic cards was a waste, since Corwin would get bored with it and stop playing soon
  • Corwin shouldn’t take his cards over to their house because he would just lose them there

Andreas got the second one right, as I found out later when his mom showed up to collect her boys. We’ll see about the first one but I can’t say I’d be surprised.
