No Advantage for Cuteness in Mah Jongg

I had a special beyond beginner class at my house this week. Half of the class was made up of friends from church who all play together and the other half were women who had found me through my website and other previous students.

It was so wonderful to teach at home. I have to thank my students for being extra patient as I was dealing with the Google Fiber nightmares all during two days of classes.

The best part about teaching at home was having my teaching assistant with me. Shay demanded lots of attention during class, including asking for two dog biscuits right in the middle of working on a hand. Betty took this picture of the TA monitoring the students while I taught.

If Shay wasn’t so demanding I would teach at home more. It made it so nice not to have to pack the games up after class and carry them to the car. I am thankful Shay likes Mah Jongg so much that she pays rapt attention to all the lessons. I think she thinks she can beat everyone at the game. Little does she know, being cute does not get you anywhere in Mah Jongg.
