“Hey guys, I have an idea! Guys! Are any of you even listening?”

“No offense Kelsey, but whenever you say you have an idea we stop listening.” Kelsey’s big brother said.

“So every second? Because you like never listen.”

“Good point”

(John looks back down at his phone)

“Seriously?!?! (Sighs) Fine. I will go suggest the idea to mom and dad.”

It was not long before Kelsey came back down with her mom and her dad.

“Phones! Now! Put them in the basket!” Kelsey’s dad said as he held out a basket.

“Uh... what’s going on?” John said.

“Family game night is what’s going on and no phones are allowed! #bonding time!” Kelsey said with a grin on her face.

“No! No, no, no! Don’t you remember the last family game night?!?!?!?”

“Yeah, it wasn’t that bad!”

“The police came!”

“Only for a few minutes.”

“Seriously?!?!?”

“Let’s just try it!”

“(Sighs) What game do you want to play anyway?”

“Uno!”

“No.”

“Jenga!”

“No.”

“Charades?”

“No.”

“Why did you just say no to every game I wanted to play?”

“Uh... because that is my way of saying no to game night!”

“Well to bad! I have decided on apples to apples! How could that go wrong?”

“Well, if our family is playing it we will answer that.”

Kelsey glared at John and went to go get the game.

“Alright, I will pick the category first. Cute, adorable and sweet.” Kelsey said.

“Oh! I have a good one!” Kelsey’s mom said.

“Me too!” Kelsey’s dad said.

“Aright, give me your cards. Let see, babies, puppies, baby chicks, and Jimminy cricket? . Um... well definitely not Jimminy! I think... puppies.”

“What are you serious! Puppies are not cuter than babies!” Kelsey’s mom said.

“I don’t know... I... um”

“Why do you think Jimminy cricket is a bad one? He is a talking cricket! That’s adorable!” Kelsey’s younger brother named, Loyd.

“Well um...”

“Told you.” John said.

“Yeah. We are waaaaaayyyyyy to competitive.” Kelsey said.

“Guys, guys. Come on. Let’s just, move on.” Kelsey said.

“I hope by move on you mean stop playing this game.” John said.

“Sure. Let’s play... knockout basketball. Outside.”

“This should go well.” John said sarcastically.

It only took five minutes of knockout before someone was actually knocked out.

“So Kelsey, let’s recap the night. You said that we should do a game night, I said no, but you did it anyway and now we are in the emergency room.” John said.

Dazed, Kelsey said, “That sounds about right.”

“I have said it once and I will say it again, no. more. game nights!”

“Yup”
