White. Wait! What!?

Hey Dad! Why does white go first?

Thats just the way it is... and its not all black and white,  see.. these pieces are a light colour and these pieces are a darker colour.

Yeh the're a kinda yellow ...... so they could be pink and purple !?

Yes.

Why can't the youngest go first?

You can go first .... you be white.

You mean yellow?

Yes. ok.

In Candyland youngest goes first!

This isn't Candyland.

In Trouble we pop the dice to go first. In Sorry you have to roll a 6!

There are no dice in chess.

Ok. I'll go first! Ready?

Ok. Shall we shake hands first?

You're silly Daddy!

Good Game Honey .....
