Grandpa Dewey on Fair Play


No Cheating Allowed                           



Dewey was the biggest kid in the game.  He was often right in the middle of a card game or board game with the kids.  He loved to play and he loved to win.  One thing he did not love was cheating.  There was a strict no cheat policy and he had an absolute way of enforcing it.  If anyone was caught cheating, or even fighting, it was game over and the offender was sent home.  In fact, everyone was sent home and the game was ended for the day.  That is another reason why the table games were so much fun at the James house.  You could be sure everyone would play fair or else.  There now, isn’t that simple and effective?  You probably thought zero tolerance was a new thing. It started in the James household in the 1930s.
And that's the way I heard it on the mountain,
