For Christmas, my old buddy Erica sent us a card game called Battle of the Sexes. The idea is you break up into teams of men vs women. There are two decks of questions that are used – one consists of knowledge women would know, the other stuff men know. The men read the women a “manly” question and the women read the “womanly” questions to the men. If you answer three questions correctly in a row, you get a point.<\/p>\n
So when Kat & Josh invited us over for dinner, I dropped the card game into my bag and headed out. We decided to give it a shot and Kevin & Josh teamed up against Kat & I. I suppose I’ll just jump straight to the heart of the matter and say Kat & I cleaned up. The only questions that tripped us up were the ones related to chewing tobacco. Everything else, we could pretty much reason out. Also, the fact that Kat grew up with a ton of older brother meant she had a really incredible knowledge of sports. We were roaring through the questions. At one point, Josh grew a bit disgruntled and stated that we were just too butch. But the boys picked up toward the end and actually made a decent showing.<\/p>\n
What I wanted to share with you was, by far, my favorite question given to the boys. It was something like….<\/p>\n
What is the first line to the song, “I Will Survive”.<\/p>\n
Now, I knew Kevin had heard this song. I must have played that song 100 times in the car just rockin out and singing away while sat resignedly in the seat next to me. But the questions was, had he ever paid attention to the words?<\/p>\n
Josh & Kevin looked at eachother and started humming. “Wait, wait, I know this. Something something I will survive…..” Then Josh, who has more illegal MP3’s than the entire Napster site during its hayday, had a break though.<\/p>\n
“I got it! At first I was a woman, I was terrified!” he shouted in triump to Kevin. I think Kat and I both lost it then. At first I was a woman, I was terrified? That sounds like the starting for a song about a gender change to me. I mean sure, I guess if Kevin woke up one day as a woman he’d be terrified. But really, it’s not that bad.<\/p>\n
“I don’t think so Josh, I think it’s petrified, not terrified. You know, ‘At first I was a woman, I was petrified'” Kevin sang out.<\/p>\n
Kat couldn’t contain herself and chimed in with, “Actually Kev, I think that’s trees, not women, who are petrified.”<\/p>\n
After a few minutes more of our snide remarks, the admitted defeat. It was a classic Josh & Kev moment though. They just crack me up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
