This weekend BellyRub and Erotica were at the lake. I went to see them. Last night we played the game Taboo. (You have to get a person to say a specific word, but they can't use the six words in front of them to describe it.)
When you play with some people, you start to get a groove going. Somehow you start to read each others' minds and it's fabu.
BellyRub and Dr.Dad were on a team. Erotica, PTAMom, and I were on the other. The boys got their groove on. The girls, well, we didn't.
The word BellyRub had to guess: Bread
The clue Dr.Dad gave him: The staff of life.
BellyRub's response: I have a guess, but I don't think it's right.
The clue BellyRub gave: Look, it's my life, okay? So if I want to live on the beach and walk around...
Dr.Dad answers correctly: Naked!
(It's a line from _The Muppet Move_ or one of those. Janice with the shiny golden hair says it.)
BellyRub said: If I was really small I would drink out of this--
Dr.Dad: A cup.
BellyRub: No, if you were really really small-
Dr.Dad's astonishing and correct answer: A thimble!
Later that evening there was a bat flying around. After we'd established that ohmigood there's a bat! It's in the house! PTAMom said, "Oh, we wondered where he went."
And as we tried to catch the bat, BellyRub said, "If I scream like a girl don't tell anyone."
