Life lesson...

Did you know that to pack away a game of Hungry Hippos, you have to pull the necks of the hippos forward and clip them to the shoulders?

I didn't find that out until about 2 weeks after the game found it's way into our lives and it bugged the hell out of me because I seem to have an anal retentive thing about getting things back into their boxes properly and it just never feels like it is in correctly.

Now you can carefully put the base into the box, then put the separated hippos in, in such away that you feel like you are packing it as efficiently as possible. But, and the is a bit of a weird BUT, more often than not, you can just fling the hippos in any which way and in a lot of cases, they just find themselves settled in the box with plenty of leeway for closing the box.

I'm sure there's some sort of life lesson metaphor in there somewhere...
