If you don't know the rules of Scattergories, this story won't make any sense. If you've never played Scattergories, you haven't lived a full life.

If my parents challenge you to a game of Scattergories, politely refuse. If you do accept their invitation, you will not win. You will be made to feel silly.

The letter was..."F."

The category was..."Things you shout."

My mom's response was "Fee Fi Fo Fum." That's a 4 point answer. Amazing.

The category was..."Ways to get from here to there."

My dad's response was "Five." As in, there are five different ways of getting from here to there. You can't argue with that logic.

We had a great time when my parents came to visit this weekend. Henry loves them and I have a feeling they love him right back.

 

Stephanie and I are feeling a little bit under-the-weather. In an attempt to mitigate the effects of the sickness onslaught, I'm drinking green tea by the gallon.

Green tea tastes like sod.

Couldn't they (the tea people) come up with a name besides "green" for this particular type of tea? Maybe it wouldn't taste as much like sod if it had a better name.

Might I suggest...

Wellness Tea
Tea of the gods
Yummy Tea
Reciproci Tea
Sniffles Tea
Aye May Tea
