Another sort of gin, perhaps..

Cribbage is a better two player game.

He’s at an age where he needs an occasional tonic.

I’ve never had a gin and tonic. Recently I told a nurse that I have nighttime leg cramps. He told me to drink two ounces of tonic water at bedtime. It has a little bit of quinine in it. Since I started drinking it, my leg cramps have just about gone.

Grandpa, you old Rummy… ☺

It’s probably for the best. Taking up drinking with your 11-year-old granddaughter isn’t a great idea.

How about a little rummy, then?

Me too, got me good, funny!…

I was going to point out that Cynthia is only 11. Then I realized she could probably get her hands on alcohol anyway.

You get the gin Grandpa, I’ll have the rum.

Give the old dude a double…of the right stuff!

As in Gin rummy not Gin the beverage.
