Our family received this really fun game for Christmas. The basic premise is a race against the variable-interval timer to call out words that fit the subject-of-the-round and be the one to have the last word spoken when the timer dings.

So my girl and I were playing this afternoon. My sweet, innocent, totally-not-into-boys, modest-minded, adores-Vicki-Courtney, 12-year-old. The letter was M. The subject card she put down for both of us was "Activities for a Date."
She looked all-too-briefly puzzled at the subject but then without missing a beat said "Making out".
"WHAAAAAT????!!!!" I gasped. " Try MOVIE!"
"Well, that's all I could think of!"
Fortunately, the timer buzzed, and I had the last word.
Sweetheart, let me tell you: Mom ALWAYS has the Last Word, and you aren't dating until you're at least 37.

Too funny! LOL!
Oh, the joy of motherhood. I have had a few of these moments myself. I think those of us who raising little girls should get extra large crowns in Heaven!
By the way, I saw my first girl scout cookie order form yesterday and all I could think about were locusts. It definitely helps with the appetite thing. Thanks.
