Well last night we played Wits and Wagers! I won. :) I told Calysta (my sister) that I had good "vouches" and she laughed. She told me I reminded her of Cora (my niece (her daughter) because I would always be spouting off that sort of funny thing. Did you know that someone rode 19 miles in one hour on a UNICYCLE?! Basically each player has a tiny little white bored and two "meeples" (they look like a star) one big and one small. This is pretty much a bet. Then a question is read. Something like "How fast did the fastest airplane go?" or something like that. Then everyone writes down their answer (always in numbers) and turns their bored upside down on the table. Then they turn them over and then place their "meeples" They can place any bet on any card. Then after they do, someone reads the answer and whoever gets the closest, get a certain amount of point. That's it. Basically. Kind of fun, with dad being the wall flower and score keeping and saying "ooohhh that's a good question!". He stopped when it asked what was the amount of exercise per day recommended by the government. It was pretty interesting! :) Good times good time.
"these are the good ole days"
I hear that some of my relatives (the ones I am not well acquainted with) (most likely those people on my brother-in-law's side of the family) are reading this blog! :) I am most pleased to hear this. You should become a member!
Fun post! We've played Wits and Wagers, too. Some of the friends here love games and on the phone, I was told about Wits and Wagers. I thought she said "Whips and Cages"!!! I was like "what kind of game is THAT??!!" It's pretty fun, interesting and fast-paced!
ReplyDeleteHey, I hope you have fun at the Island. And I hope it works for you to be above Gpa and Gma since I think it is pretty squeaky, even when you are just walking normally. If mom and dad put a computer up there, you'll never move, right? That might be a good solution! ;)
