That's what I'll do.

Cause I taught Katie to play backgammon yesterday.

I like backgammon ten times better than chess.

I bought my husband a lovey backgammon set about ten years ago.

I thought it would be a nice thing for him to do with me or the

children.

It has gathered ten years of dust.

So yesterday, when Katie and I decided to play she ran to get 'daddy's

backgammon game'.

Of course, I couldn't remember how to set up the board.
