Am I Talkin To Myself?

Thanksgiving night we had gone to our friend's house to do our 2nd round of celebration. Two girlfriends and I decided to try our hand at the game Mad Gab. You know, the "I'm a love machine" commercial? WELL. I said from the beginning to the girls that "I'm gonna suck at this game". But it was just the opposite! I rocked! I think I was almost annoying, I was so good at this game! I couldn't understand why...I had never played before. I was sitting there laughing at how this could be....then it hit me! I am around toddlers nearly every single day- not just my own, but my friend's toddlers and preschoolers as well. This game is perfect for moms! YOU SEE, when you are around toddlers so much you need to distinguish their speaking skills and "learn" to understand them. You know, you are the only one that could understand your child that just babbled a whole sentence, and you laugh so loud...and then see that no one else knows what the hell they said??? This game is just like that, you have to listen carefully to what the person says and turn it into something that makes sense...just like interpreting a lil person's language. THIS GAME rocks. I tried explaining to my friends (one of which has no kids), but they kinda just looked at me like: sure. whatever. we just suck at this game. stop rubbing it in. Game Over.
