The other day we were playing charades
Aug. 25th, 2016 12:39 pmJenn's turn, and she was doing Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
She's been watching the whole series over the past year or so, so as soon as we got through "TV show" "four words" I had the answer. (Plus, I can't really think of any other four word title TV show.)
Which caused her to accuse me of spending my whole life doing nothing but consuming media. This seems incredibly unfair. She has been watching BtVS, so that's proof that I watch a lot of TV? No. I read a lot of news, but I don't watch all that much TV.
Then my mother had one, three words from a book, first word was her pretending to use a rotary telephone. Given that she's spent the past few weeks accosting each of us and explaining cultural osmosis using the line "call me Ishmael" and how we all know that Moby Dick is about a whale without ever having read Moby Dick, that wasn't hard to guess either.
Apparently I'm the only person in the world who metagames Charades, though...?
