My mom and her husband came to visit this past weekend. Since it was raining, we decided to play board games. One of the games was Clue. A game where you have to guess who committed a murder, with what weapon it was committed, and in what room of the mansion it was committed in. It's a game of strategy that involves a process of elimination. The answer is a set of cards that is hidden away in a "confidential" envelope. You all might be familiar with the game.
As we played the game, it seemed that the location was pretty much pinpointed. All of us thought the murder was done in the Billiard room. Well, it turns out that my son, Bubba, was holding out on us.
He accidentally showed my daughter that he was holding the Billiard room card. Even though previously going around the table revealed that nobody had that card.
"Dude!" my daughter exclaimed. "You had it the whole time?"
Bubba laughed. "Yeah. I kind of forgot about it."
"Forgot about it? It's right there in your hand. How could you forget about it?"
"I'm clueless!"
Before I leave, I would like to share my SCBWI Book Stop page for Bubba and Squirt's Big Dig to China. There's a contest to see who can get the most likes and comments. If you feel inspired, please stop by and like or comment on the page. Thanks! Click on this link.
Your son is fun to have around. Loved the story Sherry.

He is certainly a character!
DeleteHe truly might be!
ReplyDeleteI think he is most definitely!
DeleteI'd call cheating. I mean, when I play, I'll try to hold one card back, but sometimes you just can't. Have you seen all the over versions of Clue? I'm partial to the Master Detective version (more rooms, more weapons, more suspects).
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of the Master Detective version. Sounds like fun!
DeleteAww..Bubba! Did he really forget while holding on to the card the whole time? Hmmm...I wonder! Or he might have!
ReplyDeleteI think it's part of his master plan to take over the world.
DeleteBubba would definitely keep a board game interesting. Love his take on it. LOL
ReplyDeleteYou never know what's going to happen when he's involved!
Deletehaha whoops. A little "forgetting" never hurt, much.
ReplyDeleteRight. Especially if it makes the fun last longer.
DeleteI liked. The cheers surprised me. It's a cute page.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Thanks, Janie! Hopefully it will help bring more attention to the book.
DeleteI'm wondering if this is the game we know as Cludeo. Perhaps known as Clue in the US or maybe its been re-branded since I last played it many years ago.
ReplyDeleteOur games are a little different than yours. It might be the same one.
Deletelovely story …...and fun.
ReplyDeletehave a great day
Thanks!
DeleteI love your family Sherry! LOL!
ReplyDeleteBig Hugs!
I should have said, I liked your page on this post! Sorry!
ReplyDeleteIt's negative athletic effect in moderation would be comparable to casual cigar smoking. It's much milder than what's on the street.
