Old Maid

This is a silly one......

I like going to estate sales.  Mainly to look at the houses where the sales are being held.  I rarely buy something but I'm always on the lookout for perhaps toys or cute things to share with the grandson.

A few months back we went to an estate sale and I bought 2 card games.  Old Maid and Fish.  I tucked them away in the glove compartment after the sale and totally forgot about them until a few weeks ago.

I thought it would be fun to play both games with the grandson and his sister.  I figured she or me could help him until he caught on to the game.  He is pretty sharp in picking up age appropriate games.

While Old Maid may be an age appropriate game, this deck of characters certainly didn't seem age appropriate!  Take a look. 

Here is the box it came in . Looks pretty innocent with an elderly woman on it.

However, some of these characters are a little questionable in my opinion for a 6 year old as far as age appropriate.  I'm not sure he would know what a lecturer was or an aviator.

But what made me decide that perhaps this was not the right game at this time in his life was Nurse Rose.  She looks a little "loose" to me if you get what I'm saying.

What do you think?

Would you play this particular stack of cards with a 6 year old for Old Maid? I'm putting it away for a few years.  Thankfully it only cost 50 cents.  Lesson learned.  Look at the cards in a card game before purchasing the game.
