Tricky Grandparents

Yesterday I visited my grandparents. My Opa was still napping so my Oma and I were talking and then we started playing doubles solitaire (ironic, I know). A little while later, my Opa comes into the kitchen where we were playing and starts reading the newspaper and keeps interrupting our solitaire game for me to read bits and pieces of the news including the middle school shooting in New Mexico, the retired cop who shot and killed someone in a movie theater over texting in Florida and about the woman who gambled her millions away in Vegas. During that time, my Oma would keep playing solitaire, possibly cheating! 

Once he finished the newspaper, he brings out a book with famous paintings and their stories and the stories of the artists in them. He shows me the famous picture of Adam and Eve and asks if I can spot the mistake. Again, all the while my Oma is playing solitaire and possibly cheating cause she kept winning!
The mistake of course being that they have belly buttons. 

Next he shows me "The Discovery of Honey" and asks what I think of all of those "funny little people."

My theory is that my Oma and Opa planned this whole charade so that my Oma could win more games against me than I normally let her win. 

To get back at her, I took her smurf figures and hid them all around the house. I think we're about even, but I'm watching them!
