Scenes from a Sunday night pictionary match up.
Scene #1
The Brother: [looking at me] We obviously can’t be together.
The Mother: Why not?
The Brother: We would kill you and dad.
The Mother: Oh! It is on!
Scene #2
I am drawing and the Father is drawing. It is an All Play.
The Brother: Submerge.
Me: Yes! I can’t believe you got that so fast!
The Mother: [to the Father] What?? How was I supposed to get that.
We all look at the Father’s drawing of a submarine.
The Father: This was only the first part.
Me: Was the second part going to be the submarine being submerged in water?
The Father: No. I was going to draw two companies merging.
Blank stares from all.
The Mother: How were you going to do that, pray tell?
The Father: Two office buildings with arrows pointing together. You would have gotten it.
The Mother: Oh yeah right.
No one else comments because we are laughing too hard.
Scene #3
Game over. We all stare at the board.
The Brother: I hate to have to do this, but it needs to be said: I told you so.
