Time to bust out a game he won't do so well in and put him in his place. Hmm, games that parents will definitely have an advantage on: Scrabble, anything that requires calculating odds more than just rolling luckily (since I assume he beats you in luck too), and the best thing against 5 year olds - outlasting short attention spans, so the longer the game the better.
Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material. Instead you roll it out piecemeal as PCs bite the dust. “I really want to play a saurian warlock…sure, I’ll take a drink of that mystery potion.” Someone probably thought of this before.
Hey, I'm using Jeff and Brendan's 20 questions to help me get a feel for my upcoming Perdition campaign. Never done it before. Highly recommended. http://jrients.blogspot.com/2011/04/twenty-quick-questions-for-your.html http://www.necropraxis.com/2012/02/24/20-quick-questions-rules/
Humility. Well done.
