Hi y’all!
So, today we just chilled for the most part. . . But, we played this game called SponTUNEous!
So, it’s kind of like a verbal form of charades.
You start off by naming a word. Let’s use “eye” for an example.
So, I would say “eye” and everyone else had 15 seconds to sing 5 words of a song that include the word “eye.”
And when there’s a tie, you battle out with insanely crazy words like “Polaroid” or “often.”
The first person to sing 5 words wins the ability to roll the dice!
They then roll two dice and advance that number of spaces on the board. But, there are spaces where you’ll draw a card with crazy challenges on them.
Sounds simple enough, right? ๐
Well, if you happen to get the word “often,” can you name a song off the top of your head with “often” in it???
Yeah, neither did we.
But, if you think back carefully, you’ll remember that Arabian Nights from Aladdin has a lyric with “often” in it.

Remember. . .
“Arabian nights, like Arabian days. . . More often than not are hotter than hot in a lot of good ways. . .”
It was so much fun. . . Except for the fact that I don’t actually listen to music, so it was REALLY difficult for me.
I was ALWAYS in last place. ๐
I just listen to Disney songs and Christian music, so I couldn’t name ANY songs with the words that my parents and friends were using.
And, on top of that, I can’t sing, and they all CAN, so they kept expecting me to sing the lyrics when I would chime in.
The thing is, the game is actually marketed as a “no talent required” game, so I technically didn’t have to sing the lyrics but I felt bad just because they can sing great and I can’t.
Anyway, I shouldn’t let it bother me. And, I typically won’t let it bother me, but when they bring up the fact that I don’t or won’t sing the lyrics, it kind of crushes a piece of my heart inside.
But, it’s okay! I know it’s not my talent and that’s okay!!! ๐
It was a good day today. . .๐
I’m going to be sad when they have to leave, but it’s okay!
Because we’ll see them in a month and a half after they leave!!!
They are the reason we’re going to Texas in January. . . At least part of the reason. ๐๐
I cant wait for tomorrow’s events!
Love,
Grace ๐
โก …and the person who uses the word ‘I’; the English language sucks to the max, at least the French have different words for ‘Je’ et ‘Oeil’
…โกโกโก…
