Overheard While Playing Candyland Last Night

“Curse You, Grandma Peanut!”
“Double Purple! YES! IN YOUR FACE!”
“No, I’m the green guy! If you touch my dude again, I will kill you.”
“I saw you move your guy, you cheater! I’m going to cut your fingers off you if you do that again.”
“Lose a turn! You are a LOSER, you big losing, lose-y McLoser face with all the LOSING.”
“IT’S YOUR TURN, WILL YOU PICK A CARD, ALREADY!”
“Stop taunting him, isn’t it bad enough that he’s a loser?” Turn to look at the boy in question, “Right, loser?”
“Yes! Yes! “YES! I am the winner!” (this had an accompanying victory dance. There was much booty wagging as well.)

Remember, it’s not a night of fun at the Deal Family Compound until three of the following criteria have been met:

Tears
At least two separate people shouting, “YOU SUCK!”
Bloodshed (bonus if this happens while people are trying to pick their tokens before the game commences)
Accusations of cheating
Cards thrown in anger and/or disgust
Verbal taunting of the loser(s)
Promises “to NEVER to play with you again!”

1. Do you invite the neighbors and/or their children, or do you keep all these good times for yourselves?

2. The neighbors are DONE with us. They keep having to call the cops when our toddler’s knifes her older brother.

3. I hear the tender strains of “love at home"…

4. Any evening that doesn’t end in fisticuffs goes in the “win/love at home” category.

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

 

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
