Since the kids do not have mobile data on the go, we have gotten down to playing simple mobile phone games. In the good old days with the hardy Nokia phone, the preferred game would be a game of snake.
Since, this is a new era, the game that the kids and I prefer is a game known as Whirly Bird1.
It started as a way for us to bond and spend time together2.
Technically, you could play this game forever3!
You could just go for the safe route and jump on the "safe" block or you could go for some excitement and try to use the spring block which send you slightly higher. It is a relative simple game and needs no further explanation.
You could also go for broke by going for the rainbow block but then if you miss the block or you step on the "thorns" or the "star like creature", the game ends!
You could always avoid the dangerous stuff and do the "boring" game. As long as you last long in the game, you will definitely get a decently high score.
Or you can go for a high exciting game where you aim for a spring block or rainbow block all the time and risk certain death while possibly getting a low score.
The game sound uncannily like investment to me.
Replace the word game with investment, score with net worth.
Like the game, the idea is to stay safe and remain in the game investment.
As long as you are in the game, the score will continue to compound away.
If you want to test your patience and focus, try matching my highest score!
Have fun trying to bond with your kids or just trash them in the game so that they would have no choice but to start conversing with you!
You can play directly off an android phone at Play Games
Since they do not want to talk to me, I can only choose to get into their way of killing time
as long as your focus and stamina allow
