An innocent family game – or so we thought.

That moment when you are playing a nice family game of Taboo with your daughter, her boyfriend and your 13 year old son:

My daughter got the word flaccid, knew what it meant and innocently started saying things that are not on the list of taboo words.  It went downhill quickly. My son was literally rolling on the floor laughing and there was not a dry eye in the house. Her boyfriend finally got the answer after many failed tries by all of us, that just got worse and worse as we went on.  Then my husband says he has never heard of the word. This started another round of laughter. So we went to look it up on google to get the exact definition and my son actually dropped to the floor again in laughter. UGH!!!

I have a box of coins from all over the world and Sam was looking through them. He brought me a coin that he found very interesting:

Sam:  What kind of money is this?

Me:  It is a coin from Brazil which is in South America.

Sam:  (after studying it for a bit)  So this is the money that they use in Seattle?

Homeward Bound was on TV.

Joey:  I don’t think that the animals are capable of going across the country to find their family.

Katie:  I don’t think that the animals are capable of talking.

Scot: I loved that movie when I was a little kid. I think I was 6 when I saw it.

Katie:  Was the video quality any good back then?

Scot:  Yes, they had movies and actors and even animals when I was a kid.

Grandma:  But. according to our kids, that was in prehistoric times.

Me:  Weren’t you from that time?

Grandma:  Ah.  No!!!

Me:  Scot said that you didn’t have electricity or running water.

Scot:  Didn’t you also have to write recipes on stone tablets?

Me:  While running from dinosaurs?

Grandma:  YOU ARE OUT OF THE WILL!

Scot:  You can’t change the will. It’s carved in STONE!
