Ended up me and my s-i-l, let's call her Donna. Because that's her name. Me and Donna were one team. Or is it Donna and I were one team? Regardless, you know the make-up of Team 1. Team 2 was my son and her daughter. Cousins who are younger and think they are smarter than we are. Ha!
They did start out doing really well and at one point I thought we were going to get our asses waxed. But then . . . . something clicked and we got on a roll and just whipped those young puppies into shape! I tell you I was totally channelling Kathy Bates from Fried Green Tomatoes, "Face it, you may be younger and cuter, but we are older and have
That would be wrong because we had almost no drawing skillz at all! Our drawings were so bad, they were horrible! How bad were they, you ask? Well, let me show you a drawing that Donna did for me to guess.
Now, when you look at this lovely drawing what comes to mind?
Knives?
Torpedoes?
Sperm?
Balloon animals?
Well, unless you guessed mermaid you would be as wrong as I was. For mermaid she drew a fish (of sorts) and then put THREE LEGS on it!
We all damn near peed ourselves over that one. It was so damn funny I didn't even care that we lost that point and had to pass the cards.
But I also wanted to share with you a picture of the winning picture. Keep in mind we still have the same person drawing (Donna) and the same person (Moi) guessing.
First she drew the thing on the right. (I guessed basketball hoop and was correct)
Then she drew the stick figure person and I started guessing basketball players.
She shook her head no, and colored in his face. Which led me to confine my guesses to Black basketball players.
I said "Michael Jordan"
No.
"Wilt Chamberlain?"
DING DING DING DING DING DING DING !!!!!!
And THAT is how you win at Pictionary, my friends.
With plenty of time left on that timer.
(Puffing out chest a little too proudly and not being at all nice about beating the pants off our kids)
And you know those young kids prolly don't even know who Wilt is! So it's only right that age trumped youth here...lolol
ReplyDeleteAnd I just have to say, about the 'drawing skillz'?.....don't quit your day jobs ladies...hehehehe
hahahahaha. I totally thought that last picture was someone peeing on another person ;)
ReplyDeleteChris and I rock at pictionary - but only when he draws and I guess.
I would never in a million years have guessed the mermaid. Where did she ever see a mermaid with three legs? I thought it was a centipede that was cheated by Mother Nature!
ReplyDeleteI thought that first drawing was a dinosaur with a small head having a bad hair day as it birthed a baby. But I've never heard of anything like that on Pictionary.
ReplyDeleteHere's how my husband wins at Pictionary. We have large groups because of my enormous family and because there are so many of us, we don't take turns. We just get into our groups and start guessing. And so amongst the chaos, he coaches his team and tells them to wait about 20 seconds and then start yelling that they have the answer. At that point, he yells out the answer as everyone else is yelling and they all pick up on it and there you have how certain cheaters win at Pictionary.
Oh! There is nothing more satisfying that beating your children at a board game! We did it, too, on Christmas. We played Taboo.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your win, they'll be gunnin for you next time.
