We were at a friends house for an impromptu diner, which we had really just turned up a little before diner knowing that they are very gregarious and would offer us some hospitality. Which we gladly accepted.
We also had another family in tow who were staying with us that they vaguely knew. Luckily they live next to the Co-op so we nipped out to get some extra pizzas and Prosecco.
As the evening developed we moved on to a new game we had just bought. We brought it with us in the expectation that we would be staying for a while. It is quite a simple game, a load of thin strips of card with a simple question written on it. The first one to give the correct response wins. A sort of cheap unsophisticated version of Trivial Pursuit with out the faff of deciding on colours and throwing dice.
The questions are fairly straight forward, it is juts a question of speed. An example, name a capital city beginning with P.
After a few glasses of Prosecco things move along at a fair old lick.
The kids decided that they wanted to see how people could be laughing so much without watching a youtube video, and joined in.
Jules, a young space geek tried in vain to work in planet related answers, Mars being a general favourite.
The questions rolled on until we got to: “name a waterfall beginning with V”
As quick as a flash Luke, a teenager, shouted out “Viagra Falls”
ROFL
This did raise some questions such as why would a teenager get these type of spam emails? Has he been looking at his dad’s email box? Why is he thinking of Viagra while playing a family game?
Luke didn’t give any credible explanation to his answer.
