earlier today, i had lunch with may & jon, and karen (my dad's cousin) & her hubby bryan. after dim sum, we stopped by costco and then went over to may & john's to hang out and play cranium. we decided on boys against girls. the girls were clearly winning when we were presented with the following datahead question:
selectaquest: which woman was the first to appear on a US postage stamp?
- a. susan b. anthony
- b. betsy ross
- c. martha washington
- d. queen isabella of spain
may: who's susan b. anthony?
karen: she's on the dollar coin
me: uh...i think she's an author?
[the guys look aghast that we do not know who she is... in my defense, i knew she was an important historical figure, but i just couldn't remember why...]
karen: betsy ross...isn't she a singer?
the rest of us: ahahahahahaha...
me: she sewed the first us flag...
jon: you mean diana ross.
obviously, we didn't get the question right. then later, karen was reading a word worm card for the guys. it was a lexicon card and the guys had to decipher the definition of the word canard. so karen is reading the card and she begins reading the first possible definition: illicit lover. this is only hilarious because she reads it as "ill-lick-it lover" and the guys are like, "what the heck is that? and since i'm reading over her shoulder, i burst out laughing and she hands me the card to read the remaining choices.
[edit - additional details from bryan]
It was even funnier when the girls drew a card that required singing. The girls decided Karen was going to act it out. After I handed the card to Karen, I said in a girly voice, "Who the heck is that?" Then a few moments later we heard karen cry out, "Who the heck is that?"
The next best moment was the girls drew another singing card. We all knew it was a famous singer or band, but than Karen asked for a rules clarification, and asked if she can just pretend to be the animal. May was like, "Animal? You choose The Monkees or something?"
I should also point out that soon after Steph left, the guys quickly tied it all up :)

oh, and jon is spalled the "non-lame, sans-h way", as he would say.
