One of my 14 year-old son's (Payne) favorite game is "if you only have one life vest". I am sure you have never heard of this game because this is just one of his random brain fart ideas. So the gist of the game is who do you like better...disguised with a morbid ending. He decided he wanted to play the game again and I said "ok...I will play but I get to go first....so if it were me and your dad and you had only one life vest, who would you save." He was quiet for a minute and asked if I wanted the truth. Mind you, his friend was with us and there was a cool factor in the mix at this point AND we were at the lake. "Sorry mom but it would be dad...the reason is because you don't know how to take care of the lake house and the boats so you would sell it all.....let's just be real...you are a big girl..I know you see my point".
Really??????...I carried him in my belly for 42 weeks (of course he was late) and gained a zillion pounds...then gave birth....took care of him for 14 years....and he picks Chris because of boats and jetskis?????
My point to this post is kids are clueless.....period......and they make up stupid games that we, as adults, should not play at any cost.
(Footnote... Be careful what you name your child because it DOES become a sef fulfilling
prophecy...hello... Payne....what was I thinking!)...until next time :)
I believe that you passed that game playing to him. I can recall listening to dozens of conversations like that when I was little! I remember one in Houstan- it was if you were stuck on a deserted island who would you choose to be there with you? I chose my best friend at the time and everyone laughed at me. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree my dear aunt:).
