We started playing the "I'm an animal" table game this evening, and I was It. I started with, "I have a long tail, I'm short enough to walk under a car, and I have a short squishy face". Luke shouted, "You're a dinosaur!"
"No, listen carefully. I'm short enough to walk under a car."
"And you're not a dinosaur," he mused.
"That's right. I'll give you one more hint. I'm very furry."
"You're a CAT!" Luke shouted...correct at last.
Then it was Luke's turn. "I'm small, but with a long tail, and...,"dropping to a whisper, "Ask me if I'm a gecko."
I was coughing up my taco salad in a very unladylike fit so Derek answered politely and without smirking (how did he manage that?!), "Are you a gecko?"
"Yes!" exclaimed Luke.
Then it was Derek's turn. "I'm very tall, and muscular, and people sometimes like to ride on my back."
"You're a dinosaur!!" shouted Luke
"Do people ride on dinosaurs?"
"Some people do."
"Well I'll give you one more clue, I live on a farm."
"Oh I know," said Luke laughing, "You're a horse!"
When it was Luke's turn again the game took a really interesting turn. Luke started with, "I'm a square. Square-ish. Square shape. I'm the shape of a mailbox."
Despite the mutually agreed upon name of the game, "I'm an animal", I followed him down his funny little rabbit hole and asked, "Are you a sewing machine?".
"Nope!" Luke continued, "I have a door."
This time not managing to suppress his grin Derek answered with the question, "Are you a mailbox?"
So much for my taco salad. In my hysterics I am afraid the taco salad en route to my throat did not quite make it.
Table Games.
Do you play table games? What are they? We'd like to have a few more.
