A Game of Clue


My 9 year old son asked me to play Clue. He set up the game and we started to play. Our two figures made their way around the board while the Captain (my now 4 year old) took the other figures and played with them. As my older son and I guessed who committed the heinous crime (whatever the crime was), it came to my attention that other crimes were being committed by the other non-players of the game. In fact, my person disappeared into the criminal mess. Miss Scarlet ended up with a revolver in her hands. Mr. Green had the wrench. Miss Scarlet shot Mr. Green in the heart. In indignation, Mr. Green chopped off Miss Scarlet's head. This scene continued at the hands of my young and, apparently, violent little 4 year old.

"Mommy!" Miss Scarlet exclaimed.
"Come here, I'll take care of it for you," Mr. Green replied.
"You chopped off my head," said Miss Scarlet.
"No, I didn't," replied Mr. Green, "I'm your father. I'll fix your head."
Just then, Mrs. White appeared. "Come here, sweetie," she said.
"You're not my mother. You're my grandma but I will come with you."
"Did your daddy chop off your head?" asked Mrs. White.
"What's going on in here?" asked Professor Plum.
"AHHHHHH!" they all screamed in unison. Each player grabbed a weapon and attacked Professor Plum. They chopped him and tied him up, smacked him with a wrench, shot him, and otherwise mutilated him.
"Why did you do that?" asked Professor Plum, "I am your uncle."

This went on while my 9 year old and I tried in earnest to solve the crime. In the end, Mrs. White did it with the rope in the kitchen. It didn't really matter, though. All the players were involved in much more heinous crimes just off the board. It was the most exciting and brutal game of Clue I've ever witnessed.

  1. I love Clue, but I have never had a game as exciting as that one. Maybe I am playing it wrong.....

I am being published!

I know! It just reeks of excitement, doesn't it?  I know what you are thinking. "Who would publish that woman's thoughts?" The answer is a lovely little outfit called www.blog2print.com. In other words, I haven't been discovered. I am no closer to being a published author than I was yesterday EXCEPT that by Christmas I will be the proud owner of my very own blog book! I know. It's a little anticlimactic but here's the cool part. My friend, Becki, found me entertaining and directed me to a blog called www.josikilpack.blogspot.com.  She posted a little coupon code for 20% off which was supposed to end last week. Apparently, the code is still good and I saved $14. That said, you know it isn't exactly the cheapest way to get published but it's the best price I could find on publishing my blog!  And it requires very little technical know-how.  And that, my friends, tickles my heart. And, for a small price of your integrity and dignity, I will share the ...

Wordful Wednesday and Clever Much? Rarely!

Sometimes my brilliance blinds me! Speaking of brilliance, before we continue this discussion, if you are my mother in law, stop reading. Walk away. At least until after Christmas. Seriously. My own mother doesn't read my blog. I think it has something to do with words like "socially awkward" and "mortifying." She knows me. She doesn't have to read about me. She can just pretend like I turned out normal. Anyway, if the mother-in-law has exited the website, check out what she's getting for Christmas! TADA! I'd like to give a special shout out to the internet and whatever site I was cruising through last week for planting this idea into my head. Usually not this creative and I definitely don't know where I got the energy to take the kids out for pictures. Or go to Walmart for the frame. And Robert's for the mat. Costco for the pictures.  Yeah, I painted the frame, too. So not my style. Anymore. I also ordered a canvas print for my husband but I...
