For Christmas the Matlock family was given the game Clue. To give you a little background the kids love to watch the Movie "Clue". So we get out the game and Grandma is reading all the instructions so that we can play the game right. One of the kids yells "I want to play Mr. Body." Chris had to tell them that Mr. Body was not in the game only in the movie.
Then we got into a discussion about how the movie was a spin off from the game Clue. Only then did the kids understand that Mr. Body was just a character from the movie. To make a long story short the kids, Grandma, and Dad had a good time playing the game and learning how to start rumors to try and figure out who done it.
Caris was actually playing the game by herself and she did pretty well. She needed a little help with reading some of her cards that she picked up during the playing of the game but she was a good sport about it all.
I think during the playing of the game Shalynn blurted out something that she was not supposed to. So then everyone else playing knew that so and so didn't do it. But you live and you learn. Next time she will keep it to herself so she will be better informed and she might win.
In the end no one won the game but fun was had by all. The kids really enjoyed playing the game and the TV didn't come on the whole time they were playing the game and let me tell you it was not missed. By the time the game was over it was time for the kids to get ready for bed and then go to bed. "I love it when a plan comes together". Ok who can tell me what 80's TV show that is from.
