The Competitive Blessings Game
It's Thanksgiving for some of us here Americans. Literal translation: family feast - with gratitude. Which brought in mind, considering it's my mind that it was bringing to, a game I call "The Out-Blessing Game, which is played as follows:
Get in pairs. Put your hands on each other's heads. Take turns out-blessing each other. Continue until you both feel truly blessed or have had enough of this loving silliness.
A round of out-blessing might go like this:
* You say: May the fruits of your labors never spoil
* And I say: May they all be delicious
* You say: And may they be always ripe
* And I say: May they be available in your local supermarket
* You say: On sale
Which might also remind me of the "No-No, Thank You" Game, that could go like this:
* You say: Thank you for this delicious meal
* And I say: No, no, Thank you for sharing it with us
* You say: No, no, no, thank YOU for being such a wonderful parent
* And I say: No, no, no, no, thank YOU for the joy you have brought me all these years
* And you say: How about them Indians?
