Last night we were playing a Cranium game called Hoopla. If you’ve never played any of the Cranium games, I suggest you check them out. Hoopla is our favorite. It’s a guessing game where you give clues by various methods, like charades or drawing pictures. One reason we like it is there’s no winner—everyone is playing together against the clock. This is important for a family with more than one person who is a bad loser, and an even worse winner.
The game has various people, places or things on cards, and you draw cards. You have to give clues for everyone else to guess what is on your card. Everyone is allowed to know if the card is a who, what, or where.
Elijah had a where card and he had to draw clues for it. This is how his brain works. Ready for this? (Warning: potty humor ahead.)
He drew the curve of someone’s naked behind and a big piece of poop coming out of it. Then he drew arrows at the poop, big arrows, and said, “Only think about this!”
We were guessing: Poop, excrement, bowel movement, feces…you get the idea. Like any of those are a “where” or would be on a Hoopla card!
So finally we asked if could possibly draw another clue. He drew two people facing each other and one was saying, “I’m breaking up with you!”
Divorce? Break up?
No. No.
Finally I got it: “DUMPING!”
He turned the card over. The word was “Dump.”
We were literally falling over we laughed so hard. Elijah still doesn’t understand why we thought it was so funny. I said, “You couldn’t draw a garbage truck dumping garbage onto a big heap of trash?”
I still laugh out loud just thinking about it.
