In lieu of our regular Marriage & Family Wednesday night group at church, they had a Valentine's Day 'event.' Danny and I volunteered to be one of the couples to play the "How Well Do You Know Your Mate?" game. I'm proud to announce we kicked some serious butt.We were the newlyweds. We were up against 2 other couples. One being a couple married for 19 years and the other over 40 years. The oldest couple were hilarious (not on purpose). One of the questions was "Who was the first person to say 'I love you' ?" The husband wrote down on his dry erase board: "Adam." Um, no. That was not exactly what we meant by the question......He was also the same partner that said his best friend was "Charlie Smith. She hates Charlie" when his wife answered, "I said it was ME."
Danny missed only one question -- what was my mother's maiden name. He answered: Lin. Are you kidding me?I missed one too. The last question was "What get's your spouse in the mood?" Danny said candles and I said "Valium" which got a nice laugh from the crowd, but then said, "Your kisses."
I know, try not to gag.
The best answer was from the oldest couple. The wife answered: "In the summertime when you get a tan." WOW. The house fell down.
Anyways, we won with 40 pionts and got a nice $50 gift certificate to Carrabba's -- woo hoo! Nice! That's right, Team Dulin Rocks!
So the truth is we actually PRACTICED. Yeah, that's how competitive we are, we practiced in the car that afternoon. My hubby was so smart and quizzed us. Never underestimate the power of preparation.
