Okay, are we feeling the holiday craziness yet? I did a thread about this in one of my groups last year, and it was a fun, so I thought I do it again, for all of us who are dizzy from the fumes from cooking so much and turned every which way from shopping, etc.
This will hopefully make you at least GIGGLE a bit.
This bunch of silliness emerged after a story my mother-in-law told me. She has a group of friends that she does EVERYTHING with - you know, they were support when their kids were young, they went to the same church, the went to each other's kids' weddings, they've been on cruises together, they know all the others' grandkids on sight, etc.
Well, one day, some years ago, they were playing "Scattergories". YOu know, the game where you are given a letter and some categories and you have to name as many things as you can in those categories that starts with the chosen letter and you get points for any thing you name that no one else lists, provided it does fit its category. Well, one catergory came up "weapons" and the letter happened to be "O". And of course, everyone was STUMPED. But my MinL's friend Gail, for some inexplicable reason, listed "Orange". And then, of course, wanting points, tried to argue it was a valid answer ("Well, it is if you THROW it at somebody really hard!" - and no, the others didn't allow it...)
So, last year my mother-in-law tells me this story, and we are laughing and a warped idea popped in my head. I made this both to amuse my MinL and for her to give to Gail..... And it was so silly, I shared it. And now I'm sharing it with you.... (go on to next post...)
