Don't Use Yourself As an Example

I went to Big Bear over the weekend for my mom's birthday. We were all hanging out in my uncle's cabin and we had 3 games of cards going on in the living room. It was funny cuz we were all using different types of cards. One regular set of cards, one mahjong set of cards, and the other were either humongous or round cards. Those were fun to play with. After a few rounds of cards, a few of us decided to play Taboo. Oh my goodness is that game fun, especially if you're competetive like my family. Boy were we loud and rombunctious. If you've never played the game, you have a word you are trying to get your team to guess, but there is a list of words you can't say to describe this word. Well, it was our team and I had to describe this word to my teammates. The word was "flab" and I decided to use myself as an example. BIG MISTAKE. The round went like this.

M: "I have these." And I kind of sat up higher thinking maybe they'll see I meant flab in my stomach.

C: "A belly!"
"Fat!"
"Celulite!"
"Rolls!"

M: "OMG you guys! Thanks for making me feel so great about myself"

It was so funny that I was laughing with tears in my eyes. But yes, never use yourself as an example. You never know what people will come up with. Besides that, Taboo is a great game! Especially if you're winning, like my team. By 10 points baby!
