My Team Your Team...
My family plays this awful, but great game called my team your team. It's a watching game where you just look at people and put them on other people's teams. The object of the game is to find the crazies, grossies, or hairy's and put them on someone elses team so they have a loser team.
Upon writing about Family Reunion month in Chris Clark's blog (www.thejollyporter.blogspot.com) It reminded me that as my family travels to Lake Powell this weekend I will be missing out on some great game time. Not only game time related to Lake Powell, but also my beloved, sinful game My Team Your Team.
Seriously, this game is like doing everything that your mother always told you not to: "DON'T STARE," Well, we stare in this game; "DON'T POINT," we point; "DON'T JUDGE," we judge too! It seems that according to the golden rule, this game is the worst ever! But, IT IS SO MUCH FUN! It is even better when we begin quietly playing and putting our own family members on each others teams. So, where is the happy medium? Do I abhor this game and leave it out of my legacy? Or, do I embrace it and look forward to teaching my children?
Now, obviously I will most likely never instigate my children into such behavior, but I couldn't reprimand them for it either. I am sure that as long as people are different, other people will notice...so no harm done, right?

this game is called your team not my team your team debbie
I love this game. Didn't we play it in the van once?
When I was in Fresno this summer we used to break away for lunch and go to the mall. There were five of us that played this the entire time. We would walk through Mervyn's for the sole purpose of this game. Mervyn's is an UGG-FEST.
Thanks, debbiebliss for teaching me this game.
There was this one time that my cousins and I were playing this at a family reunion...We were in the middle of nowhere-Idaho...mullett-FEST and such. It was all fun and games until my uncle took off his shirt and revealed his REALLY hairy back, my cousin put him on my team and i lost.
