New Rules

The other night Wesley and Ryan were playing "Rock, Paper, Scissors." 

Rock - not THE Rock, but rock all the same

Paper

Scissors

Okay, so all know how the game is played. Scissors cut paper, paper covers rock and rock smashes scissors, right?

So imagine my surprise when I saw the following "signs" come into play.

Know what this is? This is "laser." It cuts rock and paper, but not scissors for some reason.

And this? This is Earth.

Apparently this is how the game is played at school. I asked Wesley what "Earth" did and he matter-of-factly replied, "Earth destroys everything."  As an adult, that statement is sobering and sometimes feels almost too accurate. I'm sure the kids are thinking about the sheer size of a planet, but somehow, I still like the old version better.
