Last night was a 5th Quarter Party at our house. It's a gathering for the high school students after the home football game. Last night we played a great game called "Wise and Otherwise". It's similar to "Boulderdash" except it uses obscure phrases. I learned "mickle" and "muckle." Who knew those were real words!?!?
Some words I have to 'google' when I see things on facebook and then I am totally scarred for life. But usually it's all fun and I'm glad to keep learning!
