The Question Game
The other day, I had to take my oldest son Josh to the doctor to cure his ear ache. My boyfriend Tad graciously accompanied us. In the waiting room, Josh taught us a game.
It’s called the Question Game, but it’s not one of those things where you try to guess what celebrity or family member the other person is thinking of. No, this is something Josh learned to play on the school bus, so that means it’s something ruthless and bitchy.
Here’s what you do:
Take turns asking each other questions.
Here’s how you lose:
1. Laugh instead of asking a question.
2. Be unable to come up with a question.
3. Say something that’s not a question.
4. Repeat the last question.
Here’s how you win:
Ask a question that inspires a losing response.
Tad and I quickly learned the proper techniques from Josh. Then the three of us played. Here’s a sampling of what we came up with:
“Why are you so ugly?”
“Why are you mentally retarded?”
“Is that pee I smell on you?”
“Why is the back of your pants brown?”
“Why is the front of your pants brown?”
“Who do you think you are?”
“Why are you talking to your mother like that?”
“How come you don’t have a job?”
“Isn’t it true that you love Amber?”
“Isn’t that lady outside your girlfriend?”
“Why do you still dream about your ex-girlfriends every night?”
“Why are you so insecure?”
“Why are you Asian?”
“Are you trying to hurt my feelings?”
“Are you trying to piss me off?”
“Do you want a spanking?”
“Why are we playing this?”
“Do you really think you’re gonna win this game?”
“Why do you smell and look like a retarded, ugly monkey with brown and yellow pants?”
Samples of losing answers:
“No, I’m not!”
“No, you are!”
“Aw, man, that’s cold.”
Try it with your friends. It’s fun.
