Scattergories inspires my creativity. Just ask my husband (here's a couple of real experiences):
Anyway, just recently, I was remembering how I learned to play Scattergories (and now I don't feel bad at all for my creativity).
I was about six or seven years old. My favorite cousin (Marel) was (and still is) a year and a half older than me. Since I was six, 1.5 years older meant I thought she was a genius. She could read ANYTHING and she could write in cursive. She probably was learning multiplication and wow...I remember thinking she was so cool and so mature.
So anyway, as I remember, we were staying in a beach cabin and Marel asked if I wanted to play Scattergories. I said sure and she explained the rules. Every time we would go through it, she would have these absolutely fascinating words. Article of clothing: Flewjemzie. Musical instruments: Flautintin. Underground things: sapnardroot. I remember thinking Marel was so smart and wishing I could be that smart.
I'm not mad, I think her example inspired my present creativity.
What goes around comes around, I guess.
Have fun folding your flewgemsies today. You could write a blog that is just Marel and Molly stories if you wanted.
ReplyDeleteHahaha so that's where you get it!
ReplyDeleteI remember playing Scattergories with you guys before, and I'm here to say your story is pretty accurate! ;)

ReplyDeleteUm, I would read the Marel Molly story blog. In fact, I would love to read it. Write it! Write it! Like the time you ran around in circles in your house chasing me and I was under the desk by your front door but you didn't stop for a really long time. Or that time I made up all these memories and you totally went along with them and added to them and then I told you I made them up. Wait... why am I your favorite cousin?
