today is the day to fool around...and play

Like most nights, Mark found himself headed to Sarah’s house after work.  But tonight he felt kind of bad.  It was later than normal and while he had called, he knew that she probably already had dinner on the table and their favorite tv show was about ready to start.  But when he saw her, he could tell that this night was going to be different.

She opened the door with a big grin on her face.  He could fear festive music playing in the other room and she grabbed his hand immediately.  “Would you like to play with me?” She enticed. 

“Um, sure,” he said, almost stumbling backward.

“Follow me.” And of course, he did.

But when he reached the other room, he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.  There were actually games stacked four feet high.  “Pick one,” she said as she giggled. 

He cleared his head, swallowed and although he was trying to speak, started laughing.  “Seriously?  You really meant play a game?”

She nodded her head and pointed again to the pile.  Boggle, Scrabble, Monopoly, Life and then there it was…Twister.

Mark laughed at the thought of it.  “Really?  You’re serious?”

“Yes,” she beamed.”

“Alright then, you’re on!”

Right hand on yellow, left foot on green, wrap around your partner…they played Twister forever!  They laughed and they tripped.  They touched and they flirted.  And afterward, they fell onto the couch, ate their dinner and snuggled up while they watched their shows.  There was no loser tonight…the fun was in the playing and they had certainly both won this game. 

~ For you ~

Oh, you guessed it!  Today you play!  Pick one...or let your partner pick one.  

Either way, have a blast.  Set aside your overly competitive nature or your resistance to these

silly silly games and enjoy a different kind of fun together.

 

Take pleasure in the leisure of it, the laughter in it and who knows, you might just have some fun.

Now go get ‘em and no cheating!
