There is an upscale McDonalds restaurant in Hong Kong called “Next” that has table service. It has a “create your own” menu with fresher and higher quality ingredients than any other McDonalds.

Life is strange, and along that road we often find ourselves taking turns we didn’t expect, or even that we swore we’d never approach.
It’s a tricky business to untangle, but Reddit tried to do just that with this post from user Deskarthus:
When did you "become the very thing you swore to destroy"? from AskReddit
So, what are the ways in which we’ve shifted to “the dark side?”
Let’s see what folks had to say.
I make video games and 95% of my career have been on consoles.
Had to help out a team at work a few years back with a mobile game and they made me add in the bit where the pop up comes up asking you to rate the game.
I died a lot inside then.

Won the 8th grade poetry slam by writing a poem about my anger towards my grandfather for drinking and smoking himself to death.
By my 22nd birthday I was putting down 2 packs of cigarettes and a pint every day.
Now I’m 3 months sober and clean from cigs though.

In the late 80s, early 90s, I was a typical skater/punk/metal head teen. I swore up and down I would never “settle down”. I didn’t want some 9-5 life with the house and family.
I am happily married, have a great career, and love every second of it.
There are times when I sort of wonder what my life would have been if I just kept doing what I was doing.
But I’m pretty sure I would be miserable. Screwing around and partying is fun when you are 17-23, but in my 40s.
F*ck that. I’m tired.

I always said I hated people who were just content in their jobs and didn’t want to rise up

My dad liked to do awful impressions of Disney characters that he spent way too much time teaching himself.
He told me that as a kid, he was often lonely, and did this as a way to make himself laugh.
I yelled at him when he did it.
A decade after his death, I realized that I’m constantly doing awful impressions of characters from games and cartoons I liked as a kid.
You should hear my impression of Strong Bad. No, you really shouldn’t.

Just like most other people, I thought I’d always be super laid back, always up for anything and super energetic for hours off 2-4 hours of sleep.
When I was a senior in highschool I worked a bunch of over time on top of school and still went out with my friends.
Now I work less hours, rarely have the energy to see my friends, and most of the time I feel like a grumpy old introvert.

My entire life while growing up all I wanted to do was be a police officer. Received my bachelors in Political Science and minored in legal studies and criminal justice.
Received my masters in criminal Justice. Scored top 5 in physical and written exams at every agency I applied.
No criminal history and no previous drug use.
I was denied by every single agency.
Entered law school, applied for an internship at the DA’s Office while in law school, was denied.
Passed the bar, and applied at the District Attorney’s office as as a criminal prosecutor.
Denied even though I had criminal law experience and my courses emphasized criminal law.
Now I am a criminal defense attorney.

I get kind of annoyed when people talk about the elderly like they’re shocked these folks have lived lives.
They’re not teddy bears, they’re not cartoon characters, they’re human beings with vastly more experience on this planet than the people patronizing them.
That said, I *do* understand why it can feel a little embarrassing/funny/I-don’t-know-what-to-do-with-this when, say, an older member of your family opens up to you about elements of their lives you hadn’t thought about…and maybe didn’t want to. Like this thread on Reddit revealed:
My grandma once chastised me for wearing underwear to bed because I need to "let my taco air out". What bizarre advice have you gotten from the older and wiser? from AskReddit
But this user wasn’t alone. There’s plenty of outrageous grandma advice to go around. Let’s hear some more.
My Grandma (a model during the depression era) use to tell me, “Be proud when you walk!
Throw those t*ts out!” When I would tell her I was only nine and I did not yet have t*ts, she would just say, “You guess where they are gonna be and throw that out!”
So I am a DD while my mom is like a -A. Because my mom hates feeling left out, she has one of those pairs of rubber boobies you can put in your bra to make it look like you have mosquito bites. So one day, while were visiting my grandma, my mom’s getting dressed while she’s in the room. My grandma stares at my mom for a solid minute and then this happened:
in a thick German accent ” Mary! ”
” What? ”
” You have no teets! ”
” …. ”
I could not have laughed any louder.

The job for my siblings and me every Christmastime was to help my grandma decorate her tree. For as long as I can remember, my grandma had a gold foil ornament on her Christmas tree. When I was probably about 11 or so, I got the nerve to ask her what it was, already kind of knowing. Sure enough, she calmly told me “oh, that’s a condom wrapper. I want all my kids to practice safe sex”.
Way to go Grandma with the Magnum.
But really- safe sex is awesome.

My grandma, whilst once discussing my new boyfriend, was asking why I was only dating one man. Her 87 year old advice to 23 year old me was That in her day she would line up multiple dates, with multiple men to try them out, and once you went on enough dates with one person, then you would go steady. That was the norm. I had to nicely explain to my super conservative irish catholic grandmother that that is what we so kindly refer to as a “player” nowadays. Her response:
“Well, I guess I was a player then.”

When I was 19 my (then) girlfriend went to Europe with me for the summer to visit my family. Now, my family is generally pretty cool with the whole sex thing. I always got a separate room for me and any girls I was seeing whenever I was staying/ visiting them, etc, etc. This was, however, the first time my grandmother was faced directly with this issue. Anyway, we arrive to the house late at night after a long-*ss flight, have a huge *ss dinner, and my girlfriend goes upstairs to our room to get ready for bed. I try to go up too, but my grandmother drags me aside and proceeds to give me the most awkward sex talk of my life.
Grandma: Have you two… had… intercourse yet?
Me: Well, we’ve been together for half a year now, so yeah
Grandma: Are you going to do it tonight?
Me: …What?
Grandma: Are you going to have intercourse tonight?
Me (starting to get creeped out): Probably not tonight…
Grandma: Do you use birth control?
Me: Yes, she’s on the pill
Grandma: That sounds sketchy, you should use condoms too
At this point I just want to get out of there, so I just agree with her hoping she’ll let me go
Me: Okay grandma, we’ll use condoms too. I’m gonna go up…
Grandma: Actually, maybe its better if you don’t finish inside her… Just cum outside! I can give you a rag!
Me: …upstairs
Grandma: Are you sure? I have lots of rags.
Me: GRANDMA NO

I went to a private “university model” religious high school where I graduated in a class of nine people.
Needless to say, I’ve got some complaints. And…stories.
Nevertheless, there is one element of that education for which I will truly and earnestly be forever grateful. My sophomore year there, I took a logic class.
The second semester covered “formal logic,” which is basically a math-like breakdown of the structure of arguments, but we started with “informal logic,” which is the study of the way people reason and try to convince each other rhetorically, and the traps they fall into. It covered, basically, this Reddit post:
So let’s see how much I can remember. I’ll try to label these bad bits of argument rhetoric. Anything with an official fallacy name I’ll put in Italics, anything I don’t know the name for I’ll just try to coin something.

There aren’t too many things in life that people as mad as hypocrisy…especially when it’s a real WHOPPER…
But if you spend enough time on this planet, you quickly realize that a lot of people out there are, unfortunately, big hypocrites.
I guess it’s just part of life and we have to deal with it…
AskReddit users talked about the most hypocritical things they’ve ever witnessed.
Let’s check out their responses.
“I was having a hard time getting a job after college.
My step grandmother called me every single name in the book. Every variation of “deadbeat dependent loser” you can possibly think of. Almost every singe time I saw her.
“No self discipline, no drive, too dependent on others. I cant believe you can’t get a job. I taught my daughters how to work. You’re definitely your mothers child. I had expectations for my own kids. All I knew is I had to work.”
This is the same person who never had a job in her life, wasn’t able to collect her own social security since she never paid into it, and was 100 percent dependent on my grandpa.
Way to call the kettle black. It got so bad, I had to stop talking to her all together since each convo would just be putting me down.”
“My ex-wife, shortly after we separated, told me when/if I started seeing someone that she would want to meet them before our kids did. Which makes perfect sense.
Two months later the guy she had an affair with moved from NC to FL and in with her and my two kids. I still haven’t met him and it’s been six months.”
“My friends who b*tch about people who break lockdown, then go on to break lockdown for “sleepovers” and “girly nights” the same day they were criticising others.
Infuriatingly entitled.
“Others must follow the rules but they don’t apply to me”.”
“When I was going through my college party phase I ended up hanging with kids who graduated from a local Christian school.
They drank, did drugs, and bragged about premarital s*x like a lot of college students.
When you talked about politics though, they immediately would go on and on about the moral failings of society and how it needs to be more Christian yadda yadda.”
“Just my dad in general. Here’s some highlights.
As a child, he’d often tell me I had to think for myself, but then he’d beat me if I said things he disagreed with. Sometimes, he’d pose questions to me, and then hit me until I guessed the chain of logical jumps that led to the conclusion he was looking for.
He once went on a 4 hour rant about how my generation are all dirty communists and Muslims are all terrorists and a big gay conspiracy and other such nonsense. I couldn’t get a word in edgewise, but he had the gall to end with “I’d be willing to change my mind if anybody were willing to have a discussion with me, but nobody’s willing to talk with me”.
In high school, he sometimes made fun of me for being a creature of habit. He’s had the same routine, worn identical oufits, and eaten the same lunch every day for the past 20+ years at least. I didn’t have much say in my routine back then anyway. School ate up most of my time, and it’s not like my parents allowed me to get together with my friends.
Similarly, he’d make fun of me for not having friends. I did have friends, but to him they didn’t count because he’d never met them, because he never allowed them to visit, because he’d never met them. He has one friend that he sees outside of work once a year, and often times not even that.”
“Televangelists preaching how we should live modestly while they own several private jets to fly around the country spreading the word of The Lord.
Sometimes they’ll come on TV saying God came to them in a dream saying they needed more.
Jesus would fly coach if he flew at all.
I believe Jesus also preached about taking in the displaced, etc?
In 2017 Joel Osteen was not allowing hurricane evacuees into his megachurch.”
“I’ve been repeatedly s*xually harassed by a gay man before and have even had to make sure he didn’t find out where I lived so he couldn’t keep doing it. When I explained this one time to my co-workers one sneered and said I was just being homophobic and assuming it was harassment.
I said the man has repeatedly attempted to convince me to sleep with him despite my refusals, attempted to find my home, and once tried to trap me in a public restroom to make sure he couldn’t lose track of me. If I was a woman in this situation would my coworker even think of telling me that I was overreacting?
Fortunately the rest of my crew supported me and tell him it was hypocritical to assume s*xual harassment can only happen to women.”
“A girl who posted about how she doesn’t eat beef because she loves cows.
The next day she posted a photo of her new designer leather handbag.”
“My dad hates illegal immigrants…
And he was once deported from the US from entering illegally as an immigrant.”
“People wearing Blue Lives Matter regalia beating police officers with an American flag.
That’s peak hypocrisy.”
“My brother wouldn’t let his kids go to school because of covid, but they went to hockey practice and games.
All 3 of them got Covid.”
“People who get really upset about animal abuse and claim to be “animal lovers”…
And then go eat a double cheeseburger at McDonald’s.
Cognitive dissonance is alive and well.”
“My ex would get mad at me for having guy acquaintances – not even friends really, just from classes or work .
He policed my phone and my life and the f*cker was CHEATING on me.”
Kinda makes your blood boil, right?
And now it’s your turn!

I come from a pretty buttoned-up Midwestern family – we don’t talk openly about things like sex or…life, especially not with our grandparents.
But if Reddit is anything to go by, I’m practically alone in that. Look at this post:
My grandma once chastised me for wearing underwear to bed because I need to "let my taco air out". What bizarre advice have you gotten from the older and wiser? from AskReddit
To the delight and revulsion of all of us, there were thousands of replies in this thread. Here’s some input people received from their grandfathers in particular:
My grandparents gave each of their grandkids money for college. Not a fortune, just a few hundred dollars a year to buy a couple books.
So I’m over my grandparents to get said money and my grandmother leaves the room to get her cheque book.
My grandfather motions me over and says, “Don’t make it with any Catholic girls because they don’t use birth control.” Nevermind the fact that we’re Catholic…
So my grandmother comes back and gives me a cheque and we talk and whatnot and as I go to leave, my grandfather yells out, “Get yourself some ‘jimmy-hats’ with that. F*ck I always hated those things, but these days they keep you from catching that AIDS.”

My Aunt asked my Grandpa the secret to their almost 60 year marriage.
The crowd of divorced and remarried and divorced and remarried hooligans hushed to hear his words. “Eat fish. And f*ck 5 times a week.”
My Grandma, barely awake due to the morphine, patted her husbands hand lovingly, nodded and gave me the last big grin I saw from her. She was gone a week later.

My grandfather is a very straight-laced individual. Was in the Navy in World War 2, raised a family of 7 kids, and in every other respect is just an older, Catholic Hank Hill minus the alcohol.
I was at his house helping him with a computer or something one day and his cat went up to its food bowl and started eating. My grandfather grabbed the cat’s tail and lifted its rear end a few inches off of the ground. The cat responded with a little meow/purr thing, a generally happy sounding noise. My grandfather turned to me slowly and said, “He likes it when I do that. I think it gives him some sort of…sexual thrill.”
Not sure if there’s any advice in there but it was pretty bizarre.

The post Folks Share the Most “Surprising” Advice They Got From Their Grandpa appeared first on UberFacts.
Playing games with my family is like wandering into a snake pit. It’s every man or woman for themselves and things get UGLY…
And most of it seems to happen because people are constantly making up or revising the rules as the game progresses. It’s not a pretty scene, people…
But I guess I’m not alone, because all kinds of other people have extra rules for board games and card games.
Let’s see what folks on AskReddit had to say about this.
“In Monopoly, we have a rule that my sister can’t be the banker.
Otherwise, it’s like watching Oceans 11.”
“My grandmother was deaf/mute so when we played Uno instead of saying “Uno” we knocked on the table quickly twice.”
“Taboo.
You can play 3 player (cutthroat) Taboo. The rules don’t really change but the scoring does. There’s a Ref (watching for taboo words), Guesser (can’t see the card) & Talker (can see the card)
The guesser and talker will get 1 point each for each successful guessed word. Taboo words are scored 1 point to the Ref.
At the end of the round, roles rotate like normal (clockwise). After everyone has two turns “talking”, rotate the the other way (counterclockwise). This lets everyone get a turn guessing and talking with each person.
I prefer this way because you don’t get stuck on a winning, or losing team. Everyone plays with everyone. and there’s never a 4th person out.”
“We had a variation on Risk where everyone write down their moves and attacks and all the moves and attacks were carried out simultaneously.
First the troops were relocated (only able to move one country). Then attacks rolled (once again, you could only attack a neighboring country and if you won, you could occupy it. But you could not keep pressing the attack until the next turn.
If 2 or more countries were attacking each other, they all rolled the max number of dice. Ties were then rerolled.”
“In Scrabble, the person who can make the longest word goes first, highest points breaks a tie.
This makes the game more fun by ensuring there are lots of places to play your letters.”
“In every coop game (Pandemic, Castle Panic, whatever), there is usually someone who tries to tell everyone what to do.
I can accidentally be this person. So, I implemented the “right hand man” rule. IF the person whose turn it is want advice (IF), they can only get it from the person on their right.
Nobody else can say anything. Makes things way more enjoyable.”
“Rule for my kids with all board games.
Winner cleans up, loser or lowest score picks next game, tantrums/rage quitting gets you banned from the next game session all together.”
“Waddingtons Go (a game of traveling around the world).
Rule in the actual game was you had to roll exact to get into a place, but it ended up with too many dice rolls doing absolutely nothing. One player ended up just stuck in one place for literally half an hour, before then getting somewhere else and then being stuck for another half an hour. They did virtually nothing all game. (Really, that rule means the game should be called Waddingtons Stop.)
To combat this, we came up with a house rule that you have a “3 strikes and in” – if you fail to get the right number 3 times, you automatically get to your destination, to stop the game being dull.
We haven’t actually tried this yet because since playing it (when at the end of the game we came up with the rule) we’ve had a pandemic that has prevented me from going back to visit my parents who have the game…”
“One rule used for many board games: If someone takes too long with his/her move, anyone can fetch the 3-min hourglass from the shelf and set it on the table. once the time runs out, the move is over, regardless of.
Another rule for Scrabble: Any word is valid if you can find it in any book in our library within three minutes.”
“Trouble is a fun little game.
Unfortunately, with the wife and son, we only have three players. Four players makes it even more fun, so we have a fourth player we call “Bob.” Bob gets the last turn in the cycle. Someone rolls for Bob, and then the three of us agree on what Bob’s best move is.
It’s especially fun when you have to agree that Bob’s best move is to take out one of your own pieces.”
“My uncle told me stories about how whenever he played Monopoly at a friend’s house, he would always bring a few $500 bills from his own set and use them.
He never let them win.”
“In Clue, once the killer has been discovered, and it’s one of the pieces in play, the game becomes a chase.
The remaining player turns are rolls to get out of the mansion through the doors in the Hall. The killer tries to catch the remaining pieces and kill them. Secret passages only work if you roll even numbers in that room.
The killer rolls twice per turn and cannot use secret passages.
Edit: If the killer wasn’t one of the played pieces, then the game is over—they couldn’t defend themselves and surrendered after being discovered.
The killer kills other players by landing on the same space as them between rooms, or by rolling a higher number than them in the same room. If there are two players in a room with the killer, Killer must announce who they’re going after. After one attack, killer’s turn is over.
Players must escape by leaving the hall through the doors. Entering the hall is one move. Leaving the hall is another. You should try to have at least one more move upon entering the Hall to get out safely. If rolling a 3 would get you into the Hall, a 4+ would get you out.
If no players make it out alive, the killer wins, stacks the bodies in the cellar, locks it, and pretends that none of this has ever happened.
Extra fun: at the start of the game, before dealing to players, place an evidence card face down in each room. When you enter the room, you can look at the card and place it back face down. You’re sleuthing, after all. If all players have seen the card, you may turn it face-up.”

If so, tell us about them in the comments.
We can’t wait to hear them!

In it, self-proclaimed psychic Edward would use a series of what are basically just parlor tricks to make it seem as though he was talking to the dead.
Boring.
I’d be much more interested in a show with this premise, called STARTING Over with Random Redditors.
You die and the first thing you see in the afterlife are three buttons: "Next level", "Spectate" and "Restart". Which one do you press and why? from AskReddit
Restart seems like the way to go for me, and a bunch of people agreed:
If I could re-start knowing what I knew then, then restart. If not, then Next Level.

Restart. Hands down restart and not to avoid two divorces (the first one I wouldn’t be sitting here the dad of two awesome teenage boys.) Not to try again to make better choices or success. There is only one reason. A day at 19 still haunts me.
I was sitting around the house bored and broke and asked my mom if I could borrow $10 to go shoot some pool. She said why do t you call Ben y’all always have fun without spending money… I didn’t call Ben. Coroner determined he shot himself about 5 min after the convo I had with my mom. I should have called Ben.
It’s 20 years later almost. Ben was the warmest, nuttiest, most unique person I ever had the pleasure of calling friend. We grew up in boy scouts etc together. I miss Ben
Restart

Restart seems like the safest since spectate could be forever and next level could be hell

Assuming that this were to play out like a video game and I as the player can recall everything I learned from my previous play through, I would restart.
There are so many moments that I would change, so many stupid decisions that I would avoid making, so many people I wouldn’t even consider associating with.
It would alter the outcome of the rest of my life but I like to think I’d end up a better, wiser person for it.

I just thought to myself: Restart because I didn’t capitalize on life to the fullest extent like I should’ve
… then just realized wait a second, it’s not over I am here and 26, I need to capitalize to the fullest extent before it’s too late!

Restart. Invest in Bitcoin when it becomes a thing.
Then I’ll know to hold it until it hits 39K.

I’m restarting. I refuse to be reborn into this bleak *ss looking future.
I’d rather go back and be a kid again in the 90 where it was fun and while it had its problems, at least it wasn’t a sh*t show of social media mush brains.
It was better when knew to just keep sh*t to ourselves. I turned 18 in 00 and sh*t has sucked hard since 06.

“Restart” but play the bad guy next go-round.
– One_Star_Waitress
Sounds corny, but restart.
So I can meet my wife and daughter again for the first time.
– NaltedPog
Probably restart. I wanna see my kids grow up again.
I’d never thought that I would love anything as much as I do them and yet here we are.

Restarting the level means you know to save the health jars for after the first boss and that there’s not much ammo in Ravenholm.
Though all the dialogue options are the same
– TSM-
Why would you possibly think you’d have no memory of it?
This is clearly being made as an analogy to video games, and in video games the entire reason why you’d restart a level is BECAUSE you know and remember what’s gonna happen.
There’s no logical way to conclude you wouldn’t your memories in this scenario.
– theinsanepotato
Restart baby
– Catacomb82
“Restart” strikes me as the worst option of the bunch. Given that I just completed the first level, pushing “restart” would almost certainly wipe my save clean, and start the whole thing over, erasing any memory I might want to save for future use.
Especially considering just how much of the game’s enjoyability depends on where you spawn, it seems like a bad idea to just start over from the beginning, because a bad spawn could severely limit what you can do.
– maleorderbride
Sh*t, no button to send me back to the main menu and switch some settings around?
– ImaginexMovies
In all likelihood, we won’t get a chance to start over, so we better make the best of things now.
What option would you pick, and why?

TikTok really is the gift that keeps on giving…
And I’m not even talking about the content on there that features actual human beings. Pssshhhhhtttt, I push that stuff to the side when I’m browsing!
I’m all about the dogs, PERIOD.
And, lucky for me, there are tons and tons of awesome dog videos for all of us to enjoy on TikTok…so I guess we do have to give humans a little bit of credit for uploading that stuff for us…thanks, I guess…
Anyway, enough about people! Enjoy these videos featuring DOGS.

Since when are you allowed to run another player’s car off the road in the game of Life? Calm down, calm down, I’m talking about Life, the board game.
But still, I don’t remember that specific rule being in the directions, do you?
What I’m trying to hint at here is that people create new rules for games all the time…and I’m not sure if that’s a good thing…
AskReddit users shared the funny and strange extra rules their families made up for board games and card games.
Let’s take a look.
“When my mother-in-law was suffering from dementia we would play Uno with her and just let her play any card she wanted to play.
She was at a point where she couldn’t follow the rules of the game but she did understand that she should put down a card when it was her turn.
So we just let her play whatever she wanted, it introduced a fun chaotic element to the game and she got to enjoy participating and spending time with us.”
“”The Mugging Rule” in Monopoly.
If I land on a space that you are currently occupying, I can choose to mug you.
We take turns rolling the dice, if I roll higher, I steal $100, if you roll higher I go to jail.”
“In Trivial Pursuit, we have a rule – if the player being asked doesn’t know the answer, they can ask the room.
The room doesn’t actually answer, but they say whether they know the answer or not. If nobody knows the answer, it’s considered an invalid question, and another card gets drawn instead. (if someone in the room does know, but the player being asked doesn’t, then it’s just a plain old “pass”)
My Dad knows a lot of stuff … I mean, a LOT. When he was a kid he read the Encyclopedia Britannica for fun. Basically, the rule was born from, “If even Dad doesn’t know the answer, then nobody does and it’s a terrible question.”
“At the end of Scrabble you make up a story with all the words on the board.
We never looked at the tiles for scores, we just played to get the best words on the board.”
“Literally ANYTHING goes in Monopoly.
Whatever business deals you make in Monopoly are valid, like paying some insurance each round so that if you land on their rent properties you are immune.”
“Nukes in Risk.
If you roll three sixes when attacking you defeat every army on the territory you’re attacking into.
If you roll three ones, you nuke yourself and lose every army in the territory you’re attacking from.”
“If you say sorry while playing Uno, you pick up 2 cards!
Slap that +4 down with authority!
Also, if you have exactly the same card as the one that has just been played, you can jump in and play your duplicate regardless of if it’s your turn or not.”
“In Catan, when you roll a 7 or play a knight, you have to move the robber.
but you can move it back to the desert and claim any resource you want from the “bank”.”
“Phase 10.
After a person has laid down, if their set has any wilds, other members are allowed to take the wilds as long as they provide the card the wild was representing.
You’re only allowed to do this if you can lay down in the same turn.”
“In high school, my group of friends loved to play Clue.
Unfortunately we found the game got a bit stale after a few nights of playing.
So, we actually designed our own board “extension”, containing additional rooms, and created new cards for extra weapons and characters so it was more challenging to determine who the killer was.”
“My sister and i play “Life Sucks”.
It’s Life but you only get paid if you land on payday, not if you just pass it.
Basically you end up with a pile of loans and it’s a struggle to get out of debt.”
“We have a generic version of Jenga that has the company name printed on one of the logs.
When someone pulls that log, they have to yell “kielbasa” in Fozzie Bear’s voice (keel-BA-sa).
It never gets old.”
“The phantom.
When playing Cards Against Humanity, a random card is added by the phantom each round.
Surprisingly, the phantom frequently keeps up with us. It’s a lot of fun when everyone says “oh, that was the obvious best one” then realizes no one is claiming it.”
“Boggle: youngest child is allowed one and two letter words since she’s learning to read, and she’s allowed to have her sight-words list available for reference to help her practice them.
So far it’s working because she’s finding three and four letter words on her own!
Uno: stack draw 2s or draw 4s until you can’t no mo. Unfortunate soul that can’t stack draws all.
Beer pong: Gentleman’s rule. If the ball rolls back you fight to retrieve it. Winner gets a free shot. Trick shots must be very specific in nature because all loop holes are fair game.
Canasta: The Unicorn. All wilds canasta worth 2000 points. This causes table flips.”
