The Joy Luck Club...

no this is not about Amy Tan's book...

It is about my experience playing cards yesterday at a friend's place...

I normally do not play cards..never developed that habit and so am really clumsy at them..I cannot shuffle cards for the life of me, I'll drop like half of them while shuffling...and then when dealt my cards I cannot deftly arrange them either in that neat fan like manner...and to top it all I am convinced that I have no luck at these things...that I always get the losing end of any deal...

So what a surprise that in the two rounds I participated in of a certain game recently (I was forced to join in under threat of not receiving my dessert if I stayed away), I emerged with the second best points in both rounds (each round of 7 games)...and, hold your breath, an overall winner when the scores of both the rounds were combined...

And here I was cursing and mutterin' and swearing at the guy who shuffled because I felt I always got such a raw deal...and look...for all that negativity and cynicism of mine...I averaged better than all the others!!! Now if only I could be an ace of hearts in real life...mmmm....
