Playing Old Maid

Today I was trying to teach my 4-year-old son how to play Old Maid.
He obviously understood the rules, but he couldn’t wait for his turn!
Being impatient is natural for such a little kid.
I think we will be able to play it properly together soon! :)

今日私は、4歳の息子にババ抜きを教えてみました。明らかにルールは分かっていたものの、順番が待てない!小さな子どもにとって、我慢できないことは自然なことです。すぐに一緒にちゃんと遊べるようになると思います :)

Technically you have played the game already, just not properly right? Using “can” seems to imply that you and your son weren’t capable of playing the game together prior
