Smarter By Myself

What were your favorite games from when you were a kid? Was it Annie Annie
Over? Prisoner Dodgeball? Or maybe it was Mother May I? Or even Kick The Can?

On Thanksgiving, one of the things our family does is play games. A
particular favorite is Pyramid. (And yes, if I could get Donny Osmond to come to my
house to host a Game Night, believe me, I would!) Instead of playing the board
game, we make our own categories. Each person makes about seven, we divide
up into teams of two (usually decided by goofy little drawings made by Derek*)
and we play the game!

This past Thanksgiving, one of my categories was Childhood Games. I thought
it would be a "cake" category, one that would give whoever chose it an
automatic score of 7! Unfortunately, only my brother & I had apparently ever played
the games I listed. So, you out there in Blog Land, tell me; have you ever
played Kick The Can? Or Werewolf?

* = Derek is evil, we all know this by now, but it was especially apparent
when we would play Pyramid. He would inevitably create what we now call The
Pile O' Death. Hard, horribly hard categories that no one but him could
possibly know. We learned to steer clear of any of his categories! However, with
the Childhood Games category, it seems that I accidentally entered the Pile O'
Death Hall Of Fame.
