My Memory Log

The Struggle of Playing Games with Small Children

So after ripping the blankets off of me and throwing multiple stuffed animals at my face, Lisa got me to play Sour Apples to Apples with her and our six (maybe seven) year old neighbor, Klani (kay-lahn-ee).

So Lisa puts down the green card and it says 'romantic' so I go looking through my cards for something romantic and in there is 'a sinking ship' and I almost put it down before realizing:

THEY HAVEN'T SEEN OR HEARD OF THE MOVIE TITANIC AND DON'T KNOW HOW ROMANTIC IT IS WHYYYY

So instead I put 'breaking up' and I won. *must be the sibling bond*

So then maybe ten minutes ago my sister puts down powerful as her green card and me, being me, put down 'the dark side of the moon'. My sister picks it up before claiming, "Klani's card is not powerful at all."

She put down the card 'seven minutes in heaven.'

I repeat:

Seven minutes in heaven appeared in a game that is labeled 7+. 

Apples to Apples thinks seven year olds know about this when even my ten year old sister doesn't know. 

So then I'm here agreeing it's not powerful as not to give Lisa any ideas on how powerful that game actually is *thinks of the book "Loving You" where the main character had her first kiss during one of these games and go read the book before I spoil everything it's freaking amazing* 

And then Klani, bless her poor, innocent, six year old, pure, pure, heart, says, and I quote:

"Technically seven minutes in heaven is a good and powerful thing because it's seven minutes in heaven and that's where God, our Earth's creator lives, and it should be a powerful thing to do that."

And honestly what went through my mind was: 

I'm about to be doing seven minutes in hell from knowing full well what the real thing is.
