Catch This Phrase!
Catch Phrase. What a game. I could play it forever.
Leah tells me that the way I play can only be described as intense. I mean, I never claimed not to be competitive but when I find myself on my knees, pointing at somebody's face and shouting "SPIDERMAN. SPIDERMAN." at the top of my lungs at the hint "there are 3 of these movies", I sometimes wonder if I over do it.
Obviously, the answer is that no, I don't over do it.
I've noticed my sister, Laura, also gets Ah-REALLY into this game. Could this trait be familial? Being the investigative type, I became very observant when playing with my family this weekend.
Jack epitomized an over zealously competitive player. Conclusion: yes, it is a family trait.
Jack also gave really hilarious (read: terrible) clues. Laura would whisper the word to him. Here are some of my favourites:
Jack's clue: You don't really see people doing this...
Us: go to the bathroom! get dressed!
Jack: mmmmm. nooo. It's like... hmmm (he would get really pensive)
Laura: Jack, why don't you act it out
Jack: (faints)
Us: FAINTING!
Jack: YEAHHH EAYHHHH YEAAAAHHHHH YA YA YA YA
Next turn
Jack's clue: You don't really ever see this...
Us: Fainting!
Jack: and it lives in trees...
Us: Squirrels! Birds!
Jack: yeah but what kind of bird?
Us: robin! woodpecker! owl!
Jack: OWL YEAH YESSSS YA YA OWL YEAHHHHH
Next turn
Jack's clue: You don't really ever see this...
Us: Owls! Fainting!
Jack: and it lives in the sea
Us: mermaids! sharks!
Jack: nooo...
Us: What colour is it?
Jack: it's like, reddy-ish
Us: Crab! Lobster!
Jack: YA YA LOBSTER YAAAAAAA YA YA YA
Here's a clip of the hilarity.

I love Jack too.
Also, it was great to hear your voice (I presume it was yours). I forget that you have an accent! :-)
Jack is adorable. Sounds like family game night is a lot of fun at your place. :)

Hilarious and adorable! I want to play too!
i still can't believe you guessed crayons so fast based on one clue!
i also liked these jack clues:
"ummmm, it probably tarts with a T."
oooh, that is some excellent guessing, skins!
I like that game too. Although nothing compares to Taboo.
OMG... It is not often that I really
"laugh out loud" to a post I read at work, but this one had me giggling uncontrollably.
"You don't really see this very often..." is an amazing clue!
Guys, let's face it. I'm a pretty fantastic guesser. Like, if we're ever playing together? Make sure to be on my team. Or Jack's. OR BOTH
