Moonie is my buddy. My pal. My guy. My sidekick.

But I still wouldn’t recommend playing pool with him.

He’s too little to lift the big long heavy cue sticks, so instead he’ll run around the table rolling each ball by hand and giggling like a maniac. And he isn’t entirely interested in the rules so much as the fun, so he’ll happily scratch the cue ball or sink the 8 ball before he’s finished getting the solids and stripes into the holes.

It’s cute to watch him running around with the balls, but it sure takes a loooong time to play a game, and you’ll probably end up with a grumpy line of biker dudes waiting for you and Moonie to finish.

Maybe play chess instead. If you’re OK with him trying to ride the knight pieces like horsies, that is.
