Actual Gameplay

life part two

One time, I was playing the board game "Password" with my grandmother.

I was trying to guess the word, and she was giving the clues. She looked at the card in her hand and furrowed her brow. Abruptly, she looked up and yelled out "COCK!"

I must have blinked about eight times.

Turns out the word was "rooster".

true story.
