Kerplop!

Eli was playing the classic game of Kerplop with Jared's aunt Carlene. The point of the game is to pull out the sticks one by one without the marbles falling out of the tube. Eli was so enthusiastic as he always is about everything and pulled the sticks out as fast as he could. We tried to tell him the actual point of the game, but he seemed to think that it was to make the marbles fall. As he was playing with Carlene, they struggled to put the sticks back as they get tight. He would say "This is tricky." Carlene said "I guess you have to be smarter than the sticks.". Eli responded "There just sticks."
