Write a letter to the person who made you laugh when you really needed it.
Dear Friends,
It had been a hard week. Church politics, busy times at work. I'd been feeling drained. So tired.
So I wasn't really looking forward to being polite all evening whilst I sat through more board games.
But,
You're all so welcoming, so eager to make me feel included. The food was tasty and gradually I started to unwind.
Then you brought out the trump card. Cards Against Humanity.
This is definitely a game you can only play with good friends. It is not, and I repeat not, one to play with your parents.
If you've not played it before, well, how would I even begin to describe it? The card czar reads a question like " I was late to work because..." from a pile of black cards and we have to use one of our ten white cards to finish the statement, or answer the question. One of the very first white cards I picked up was "Queen Elizabeth II's immaculate anus" And that's one of the cleaner ones.
Everyone submits their answers face down, and the card czar then reads them out in turn, picking a winner. The winner gets points, the most points wins. The card czar rotates each round, so we all had a turn at reading out the stupid, crass, rude and hiliarious statements.
And how I laughed. Laughed and laughed and laughed. Tears streaming from my face as the statements got closer to the bone and sillier and sillier. We were certainly spoilt by having two very good mimics in the group, who when card czar would put on great voices to read the statements.
I think I fell off my chair laughing.
It was certainly what the doctor ordered that week.
So thank you nice friends.
