Play a little game?

Tweet

This has nothing to do with the internet or video games. And it won't take anything out of your time of day. Other than to reply of course. Remember when you were a kid and you could entertain yourself and your friends even if you were in a plain empty room? Like a 'who laughs first' contest, or a thumb war or something. I visited a friend today who has an after school program for kids (ages 5-11) and they play a lot of those kinds of games. I thought it was cute of course, but also pretty cool, especially how they don't need anything other than themselves and maybe words to a song. Anyways, these days I would say most of us grew out of those games. Well at least somewhat, maybe interacting with each other in a playful way is in our nature. Just carry on with your normal day and see if you and a friend play any sort of little game. They don't have to be anything special at all, I'll give an example. Today I was with a friend, and there was a $20 bill. 10 was mine and 10 was his, so we both had to figure out the change situation. He pulled out a $10 bill and I only had a $5 in my pocket. So there was a $20, 10, 5 on the table. This whole story seems long only because I'm explaining the whole thing, but this was all in a few seconds. He went to grab at the money, the $20 first of course, which ended up in my hand somehow. On instinct, we went for the rest, where I got the $10 and he only had his $5. "Okay, you win," he says. And that's where I thought of this silly topic. Win at what? We ended up sorting the situation out where we each got paid, seconds after. So it was just a little game for about 2 seconds of fun. I'm sure it happens everyday, you just have to notice it. How many times do people say "Okay you win." Did you play a little game today?
