Our family on both sides ended up playing games. One game, I forgot the name, but you had to pick a famous person, and guess who everyones famous person was. The name was written on paper. I was too happy when I got out. My cousin looked at me and said, “You know you didn’t win. Why are you so happy?”
I smiled. “Now I can do this! I am going to get something to drink anyone want anything?”
I got up and left the room. It was nice until we played another round. When it was my turn. I said this,” Hey, that was my famous person. Who wrote the name down? Huh, I guess it was not me. Okay, who was asked what again?”
My aunt looked at me. “You just told us who you were.”
“Yes, out again. Best game ever! Now who’s turn is it?”
Of course everyone thought I was being a smart a** but I could not stand it any longer. I mean, sitting there and guessing. It was hard when you picked a music artist and you have the songs stuck in your head.
Then we played Apples to Apples. Of course, I needed to defend my card and why I picked it. Then I got bored and put cards down, until I somehow won a card.
Food drives me nuts. “Did you try this cookies, or here you can have more then one?” I sneak the food and want to hide, but sit with a group of people and eat. Then someone asks, “Did you like the salad?”
Me: “It is okay, but so-and-so made the same salad and it was better last year.”
FM: “Oh, and how about the potatoes?”
Me: “I don’t know. I forgot. Um…the salad was better last year.”
FM: “So you are sitting in the adult table.”
Me: “I sat in the adult table since I was about 19.”
FM: “You like it?”
ME: “It is just a table. Do you want me to go to the kids table?”
FM: “No, you can stay here.”
ME: “You don’t have to lie. I go to the kids table.”
Walk over to the kids table and sit down.
Cousin “Why are you here?”
ME: “Because the adult table is boring and stupid.”
CO: “What is it like?”
ME: “Boring and stupid. They just talk about food.”
CO: “That does sound boring, but you can drink adult drinks and talk adult.”
ME: “It is always about food. Borning. Did you see any good movies?”
Then talk about movies we saw.
