Willie-O: True story:

20+ years ago, my daughter was 10 or so, and my son was 5 or so.

They had been playing quietly with cards in the living room, and my son seemed grumpy. I realized that my daughter had just taught him Blackjack, and was winning all his stock of pennies in the process of teaching him the fine points. My son, as a child, was freakishly gifted in the area of numbers and math, but this was new to him.

So I said, "Let's have some music!" and got out the Ian and Sylvia record that they first recorded Summer Wages on, and put the needle on that cut.

On the first line, my sun pricks up his ears, and you can see him running the numbers in his head. Daughter glares at me, yells "DADDEEEE!!"

No more pennies. In later years, Son made pocket money driving down to Foxwoods with MIT fraternity brothers to play Blackjack.
