Chop Sticks and the Girl who Lost it all

I recently castigated Isabel for her poor performance in the game of Chop Sticks. Let me remind you, that this was in fact my first time playing Chop Sticks. Even more insane, was that I hadn't even heard of the game before! After I demolished her, Isabel spoke in a very laconic way, as a result of her dumbfounded loss. From now on, Isabel has forced an indefinite moratorium of the game. I think that is due to her lack of skill, but she argues otherwise. It's not my fault that her attempts to beat me are maladroit and careless. I merely played to the best of my ability. I was even surprised that I had won, but I guess that's just how the cards were dealt. As a result, I almost gave out an ebullient cheer, but the class was in a silent literary companion session, so I reserved myself for another time. :D I rock.
