Please do not actually play this drinking game. Remember: alcohol poisoning KILLS.
I would so be an alcoholic. & this doesn’t even cover the Spouse Edition of the same game.
Love it!
Yeah, I would pretty much be drunk all the time!!
Oh my….I would SO win at that game.
I was actually thinking the same thing about alcohol poisoning! Hilarious! :)
This cracks me up. I’m not going to be trying it anytime soon. I think I would be passed out after the first five.
Today was the perfect day for this. I would have been passed out just with item “anyone uses their pants instead of the potty.” Or around here, pants or floor instead of the potty. Good thing I don’t drink or I might become an alcoholic over this game!
There would be a shortage of booze if we were to all play this game. I almost peed myself. Hey, that’s missing! Every time you sneeze and pee yourself you drink.
And one shot for everytime you say “Where is your OTHER shoe?”
One for “What did you do with your baby sister’s shoes?”
One for “Dammit, now where is MY other shoe?”
This is pretty much how I live my life, actually – except sub “chocolate” for “shot.”
I LOVE this. However, I’d be drunk by 9am with just the FIRST “point” listed. And my daughter is 9. That’s just all kinds of wrong.
Hilarious. What would spouse edition look like?
Jesus. I would have finished the giant bottle of tequila in my cabinet before noon today.
I’m really going to have to disagree with this Swistle! Shame on you! An overflowing toilet is worth FAR MORE than just 1 shot!!!!
Too funny.
I’m pretty sure I’d be dead of alcohol poisoning by noon.
Love this post.
I do this already, just with dark chocolate.
LMAO this is classic and yes I agree I’d be drunk before breakfast was even over!
How about a shot for every time your toddler climbs into your bed at night?
Never mind, I’m pregnant and can’t drink, anyway. JUST WHEN I COULD REALLY USE ONE, TOO!
I earned five shots just yesterday alone! (I replaced “shots” with “bottles of wine” though. I hope you don’t mind that I changed the rules…)
This is outstanding.
Love this. Sadly, if followed, I would be drunk by 7AM daily.
I found a sippy full of milk today that’s been in the diaper bag since Saturday. That must be worth a shot.
OMG, I really , really resented hearing the “Enjoy every moment” comments. Seriously? Want to make me feel even more guilty about my mothering?!
Allison
This would be a dangerous game to play ;)
Considering the fact that I just sprinkled a fresh layer of baking soda on the carpet from last evening’s barf episode, I really needed the laugh this morning. Furthermore, I think a shot should be added for every time a child wrecks something you were saving for yourself for a quiet moment.
*passed out*
Oops, I wasn’t really supposed to play?
Can we add “Anytime you have to repeat the phrase ‘Get your hands off each other if you can’t touch gently’ more than five times in twenty minutes?” And an extra shot if you have to say it in PUBLIC five times in twenty minutes?
I think you were just getting warmed up; the last six were hilarious!
At my house, it’d be:
1. a child doesn’t do what you tell them to.
2. a child gets hysterical about the consequences (time-out, lost choice, etc.) for not doing what you told them to.
3. a child gets hysterical that you won’t comfort them because they’re hysterical about the consequences for not doing what you told them to.
Sorry, I’m not “mean” for not giving you hugs and kisses because you feel bad that I took away the toy after you wouldn’t listen to me when I told you to stop teasing your brother. Sigh.
BRILLIANT!! But I agree…you need to post a Spouse Edition of the game, too! :D
Good disclaimer, seriously, we’d all be wasted.
Spouse edition please!
I so needed this today. And yes, I’d be absolutely toasted right now. It’s been crazy!
Snort.
I esp loved the “child tells a joke” and “child relates the plot of a TV show.” I mean, OMG, how can the reTELLING last longer than the ORIGINAL FUCKING EPISODE?
With 5 kids and 3 in diapers, I go through about 1/2 this list every day. I love the warning at the end about alcohol poisoning. I agree that that is what would happen!
Ok. I tryd this gam e. I can’t feell my fingurs and my werrds look like theyure coming out backword s. (hiccup) Wut wuzit you sed abowt owcohole poy sening?
Crap. My tung feellllls soooo fuuurry.
Oh,…by the way, my chilwrens looked so pritty tooday.
Good game.
Love it!
I got a little drunk just thinking about playing this game.
If I had played this game tonight using the phrase “SETTLE DOWN!” I would SO be in the hospital right now. GAH.
This is hysterical! Love it!
yeah, that could be dangerous.
Haha–love it!
And yes: what is up with the “if you think this is bad, wait until…” comment? Next time someone says this to me, I am running home to write a sarcastic post with the same venom that I reserve for people who don’t wash their hands before touching babies.
Ominous Future Forecasters should consider themselves warned!!
Haha–love it!

Oh lord. You’ll kill us all with this game. Can we have a latte each time instead?
