A fun family game...

If you're like us, you like spending family time together.  Here's a fun project the whole family can enjoy.  Make some Rum Toddies (with a LOT of rum). Make it a big batch, the kids will want some too. Cut out this conversation (I left convenient breaks between the lines for easy cutting.) Toss the lines into a big bowl, mix them up, and pull them out, one at a time. Try experimenting with different levels of aggravation in your voices. The fun part of this game is that you can repeat the steps over and over for unending fun.

Mom: Did you want to go out for awhile?

Me: We just got back.

Mom: We could go get some coffee. I haven't gone out in days.

Me: Mom, we just got back. I just took you out.

Mom: I haven't been anywhere.

Me: Ok.

Mom: So, do you want to go out?

Me: No, thank you.

Mom: I'd really like to go out.

Me: Yeah, I got that.

Mom: So, do you want to go out?

Me: * ignoring her *

Mom: Maybe I'll take a walk.

Me: Ok.

Mom: So, do you want to go out?

Me: No, thank you.

Mom: Maybe I need to walk. I'll go get some coffee. Would you like to walk with me? If you walk with me, we can ride.

Me: * ignoring her *

Mom: Yep, I think I'll just walk. Wanna walk with me?

Me: No, thank you.

Mom: Well, I guess I better get my stuff together. It's a beautiful day for a walk.

Me: Yep, it's pouring rain. Perfect day for a walk.

Mom: Then you'll walk with me?

Me: Nope.

Mom: I'm just going to go myself then.

Me: Ok.

Mom: Just so you know, if I go by myself I'm going to find myself a man.

Me: Good.

Mom: I'll bring him home, too. And, he'll think you're just as mean as I do.

Me: Ok.

* Quiet for a few seconds *

Mom: Do you want to go for some coffee?

It's our favorite game. I hope you enjoy it, too. ;)
