Pinball

How long does it take for an eleven-year-old Maasai boy to learn to play Pinball? About 5 minutes! I had my computer on and was showing our friends some photos of themselves when I thought that Mathayo might enjoy trying Pinball. He loved it, of course. Within a few minutes he was playing really well and a short time later had beaten the high score of my two nieces (sorry girls). He hasn't beaten MY high score yet though! Mathayo has never seen a computer game. He has never even touched a computer before. He does go to school but it is very far from his home and there are 200 kids in his class. Mathayo can read and write and I showed him how to type his name onto his pinball score. He loved that!
