Eat poop you cat!

Don't let the title fool you, this is awesome.

Yesterday I came across a party game called “Eat poop you cat”. I am probably the last to hear about this one but in case I am not, here it goes:

Everyone sits in a circle, and writes something on a piece of paper. That paper gets passed to the right where the person then draws what was written. The original sentence is then folded over so it can not be seen, and the paper is passed to the next person to guess what the picture represents. This process is then repeated around the table until the paper gets back to the person who started it.

What you get are some pretty funny threads of a visual “telephone” game. You can see pictures of some rounds (along with more game details) at:

We'll be playing this the next time we have a bunch of guests over to the house!

Conversations with a 4-year old

From 2008
(Tristen and I at the Indy Zoo)

We were all at the mall last week.. Nicole was getting her hair fixed, and I was walking around with Tristen and Trevor doing anything to kill the time. Thinking of making the most of our window shopping opportunity, I striked up a conversation with Tristen:

“Christmas is coming up.. What do you think we should get for mommy?”

Tristen: (thinks…) “I know! Flowers!”

I don't know what kind of response I was expecting from a 4 year old, its not like he was going to suggest a new blouse. So I continued to see how far this would go:

“What kind of flowers?”

Tristen: “Purple petunias, they are mommy's favorite!”

(and all these years I've been buying ROSES. the kid is showing me up!)

“Well, flowers like that might be hard to find at Christmas time. What else could we get her?”

Tristen: “I could give her a hug!”

“Good idea! She would love that.. Anything else?”

Tristen: “Let me think..” (which he does, for a few minutes) “I know! a CAKE!”

At this point I realize that Christmas for Nicole is going to be comprised of standard birthday fare. We went on talking about what present mommy would like to have based on what she she likes to do every day, which pulled out answers like “laundry”, “dishes”, and “vacuuming”, all things that I'm sure Nicole would whole heartedly agree she does for fun. hehe

.. I think we might just have to go with the flowers, hug, and cake.
