The Sore Loser: Chucking the Checkers

This kidism was my son's idea. He's been wanting to set it up for me for days. I had decided on Sunday afternoon when I thought their would be good light, but nope, it was awful. I got a bunch of dark shots (even kept trying different settings and took 60+ shots) I think I really need a flash, but it's just not a priority. Perhaps I should make it one. Christmas?:)

Anyway, it was fun to throw pretend fits and chuck the checkers across the room at the camera. I may have lost some. Just prayed that my lens wouldn't get damaged. It didn't.

Does anyone here like Checkers? I am absolutely terrible at it. A regular Checkers moron.

He won, I quit. Hmph!;-)
LOL. Love it! Especially the flying checkers!

Love this staged tantrum, you certainly know how to act up.
October 12th, 2015  
Love that expression!

@nadaa Boy, I sure can take some unattractive selfies, eh? Sometimes I wonder if it's too ugly to post but then just shrug. Not looking for a mate anymore, so post away:).

October 12th, 2015  
Fun shot, Amanda. Wow, you do have a lot of games.

@lesip @darsphotos Some are mine from childhood. I love to play games. favorite thing to do with kids besides reading to them.
October 12th, 2015  
Ha ha great timing! It must have been quite a work out picking up those counters over 60 times!!!
October 12th, 2015  
@paulaw I think we are missing lots of them.
October 12th, 2015  
Believe it or not, I did throw the cards away round the room when I lost! I've never been able to forget that! Just lost my cool! So I relate to this completely!
October 12th, 2015  
@maggiemae I have, too, but was mostly joking. So funny! :-)

Your way too good at being bad. LOL. I am a pretty good checker player you have to be if you live in the south and wear overalls.
October 12th, 2015  
@trm Hahahaha...I like to play it at Cracker Barrel in the rocking chairs. But I still lose:).
October 12th, 2015  
That face is priceless! I also love the flying checkers.
October 13th, 2015  
LOL... fun selfie
October 13th, 2015  
It's a fun shot and hope your kids are better sport then their mom! lol!!!!
October 13th, 2015  
Haha, poor sports are so much fun to watch lose :) That was never me....
October 13th, 2015  
Fun... but I don't like checkers much either!
October 13th, 2015  
hahahaha
October 13th, 2015  
Great one!
October 13th, 2015  
Haha, you crack me up Amanda. Apparently the Yongnuo flash is great for the price. I don't own one but have seen them recommended quite often.
October 13th, 2015  
Funny!
October 13th, 2015  
Hilarious. We don't play but I imagine if we did the result could be similar.
October 13th, 2015  
Hahaha, been there!!

What a great shot, good to see you haven't lost your touch, always creative and amusing.
October 13th, 2015  
You may be a loser but this is another winner. I don't think you would have wanted higher than 800 for this and it does't really spoil our enjoyment of it that you didn't have enough light to get the shutter speed you wanted.
October 13th, 2015  
Hahaha your tantrum face is too funny! I love playing checkers although I'm not very good at it. I've been meaning to take a photo of my checkers but I can't find my checkerboard. Oh well, awesome shot!
October 14th, 2015  
Hahaha! My oldest son is still bad about that at 15.
October 15th, 2015  
Whahaha, you're so funny, great shot!
