Spotlight Saturday: Would You Rather…? Travel Version- Classic
Posted by: | CommentsDuring my time at my parents’ house we played a fun game called “Would You Rather…?“ There are different versions of this game, but we played the travel version- classic, which involved tasteful questions and no silly stunts to perform. The concept was very simple. One person picked a question, read it over and then wrote down their answer. The other players then had to come to a consensus about what the best answer was. If that answer matched up with the first players answer, the first player stayed in the winning category. If it didn’t, they dropped down tot he losing category. The last player left in the winning category won.
One of the great things about the game is that there is no player limit. You can play with as many people as you want. It is sometimes hard to find good games for a large crowd, but this is one. The other great thing was it facilitated great thinking and discussion. I was playing with my parents, brother and sister-in-law who I all know very well, but got to know them in new and different ways through the questions!
So I thought we would try our own little version of the game on here for you guys to get to know me and me to get to know my readers. For the next week or so, I will post “Would You Rather…?” questions that i will answer and you can answer in the comments section. I don’t have the game with me, so I would love for you all to submit questions for us to use in the comment section of this post. To give you some ideas, here are a few I remember from the game (although not word-for-word):
1. Would you rather have such a huge nose that people refer to you as “The Inhalator” or such big ears that you are know as “Dumbo”?
2. Would you rather speak all that you say in rhymes or sing everything?
3. In a basketball game, would you rather lose a 20 point lead and be up 2 points with a minute to play or come back from a 20 point deficit and be down 2 with a a minute to play?
Submit as many questions as you would like and let’s have some fun thinking through some “would you rather” situations!
Santa Claus and Barbie?
Posted by: | CommentsLiving overseas always provides moments of entertainment. And for some reason a lot of times the entertaining moments seem to come in the form of American music being played abroad. Tonight for instance, I took the three kids out to walk around a little Christmas village they have set up here downtown. There were 3 Italian men dressed up in Santa Claus outfits singing for the crowds walking around. We sat down to listen as they were finishing a song and the next song they broke into was the song Barbie Girl by Aqua (here is the video if you forget the song, but if not spare yourself because the song will be stuck in your head all night like it is mine now!) I just sat there and chuckled to see three Italian Santa Clauses singing this song. They then followed it up by a nice rendition of “O Holy Night”!
Marriage from a Kid’s Point of View
Posted by: | CommentsMy Dad sends me some funny forwards and this one I thought was worth re-posting for a laugh.
Talking to Kids About Marriage
1. HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY?
-You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like
sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.
– Alan, age 10-No person really decides before they grow up who they’re going to
marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you’re stuck with.
– Kristen, age 102. WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?
Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.
– Camille, age 103. HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?
You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.
– Derrick, age 84. WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?
Both don’t want any more kids.
– Lori, age 85. WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?
-Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know
each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.
– Lynnette, age 8-On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually
gets them interested enough to go for a second date.
– Martin, age 106. WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?
-When they ‘re rich.
– Pam, age 7-The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn’t want to mess with that.
– Curt, age 7-The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry
them and have kids with them. It’s the right thing to do.
– Howard, age 87. IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?
It’s better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them.
– Anita, age 98. HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN’T GET MARRIED?
There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn’t there?
– Kelvin, age 89. HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?
Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a dump truck.
– Ricky, age 10
