Final Words
The funny thing about this game is that the question itself does about ten percent of the work. The other ninety percent happens in the chaos that follows. The face someone makes before they answer. The “okay but wait, what if” that turns one question into a twenty-minute debate. The answer that comes out of nowhere and tells you something about that kid you never knew before.
Pull these out on a long drive when everyone has gone quiet. Try one at dinner when conversation has stalled. Whisper a silly one at bedtime when your kid is supposed to be sleeping but clearly is not. Break one out at a party, a playdate, a classroom, a waiting room.
Every question has two choices. Neither one is wrong. And somehow that is exactly what makes kids feel free to be completely, wonderfully, hilariously themselves.
