Nothing Funnier than Kids + Lauren + Spoons

2013 Spoons Champion Lauren

Since this blog is called Keeping Life Hilarious I should start being funnier. Lauren came over last week and Christmas. Both times we played Spoons. Spoons is a card game that everyone gets four cards in their hands. The dealer adds a card to his/her hand then passes a card to the player to his/her left. The first person to get four of the same number or face card grabs a spoon. Whoever does not get a spoon is out. It is kind of like musical chairs.

This is the first time I got to see Lauren's competitiveness at work. She won all of the 4-5 games that we played! In one of the last rounds, she actually pushed away Emily's hand to get it. The kids and Lauren and I were in hysterics. Emily made her a trophy spoon and Lauren took it home with her only to return on Christmas with the spoon and we played again!

My partner was in the mix this time and Lauren won again! During the game spoons her misgrabbed and flung into the air only for someone else to grab it. Grown-ups dove across the table to grab a spoon that was knocked across it. People were scratched. It was rough.

We are looking forward to next time Spoons 3.0.
