My eleven year old middle school daughter and I were having a conversation the other day about games and one game in particular became the topic of discussion. A party game we all know as Truth or Dare.
My daughter: Um, I've also played this game called Truth or Dare.
Me: Uh huh. Where, why and with whom?
My daughter: Just with friends, you know, sleepovers Mom.
Me: Uh huh. Oh I've been to sleepovers in my day. And I've played Truth or Dare maybe five, or 65 times in my life. Well that's a fun game don't you think sweetie?
My daughter: Mom. Ew. I guess if you like giving out your biggest secret about a major crush you have on the hottest eighth grade boy in the school or if you think it's really super cool to be double dared to prank call the Pope.
Note to self: Sign up tomorrow morning at daughter's middle school as room parent and cafeteria mom. Also call Pope to apologize.
I can still vividly recall some of the naughty but awesome Truth or Dare questions asked during my middle school sleepover days.
Paula Truth or Dare?
Me: Truth.
Name one celebrity you desperately want to make out with.
Me: I can only name one, I mean I can easily spout off three, or seven if you'd let me?
Just one.
Me: Andy Gibb. Yep, hairy chested Andy. He's right up there at the top of my list.
Paula Truth or Dare?
Me: Dare. *sniff*
Go jump in the pool, fart, and announce to the world as loud as you can, "I cut the cheese!"
Yes, those were the good ol' days my friends.
Letter G today folks for our Alphabet Game. And I've got the perfect G. I've always been excited about Giraffes. I've loved them at the zoo and even Melman in my kids Madagascar movies.
I'm thinking Giraffe Sex.
Giraffes may be awkward but they're quick, y'all.
