A Simple Game of H-O-R-S-E

Horse was a favorite game of my childhood. Unlike basketball, one could be competitive without a lot of hustling skills. You just need one dang good shot. Share you memories of the game pictured or other games from growing up. Maybe we should plan a few games this Christmas.

Weapons of Mass Destruction

The basement and backyard have been the setting of many epic battles. Three cards this week address the weapons used. They are:

Nerf Bow and Arrow
Disk Guns
Finger Rockets

Feel free to add any others you think of.

What Do These Mean?

You will be commenting on three cards this week. See if you can enlighten the family on what these phrases mean:

• Ghost Riding
  
• Terd of Hurdles
• "Don't Play with the big dogs if you pee like a puppy"

Favorite Meal

When Dad and I got married, he made me a deal. If I made anything he wouldn't eat, he'd pay me ten dollars. He has never had to pay up. That doesn't imply that every meal has been a winner. More likely it means that Dad is very close with his money . . . and very supportive of the cook.

We also decided we didn't want to raise picky eaters. I remember Dad telling a less than enthusiastic diner that he/she "didn't have to like it, just had to eat it."

With this introduction I would like to hear about your favorite meals from childhood. I guess it would also be interesting to hear about your least favorite foods now that you are out on your own and can eat whatever you want; but be nice. Whatever you say may come back to haunt you with your own children.
