Have You Played These Games at Home?
Here are four games you have probably played.
I’m not much on playing cards or board games. I do play a somewhat geeky sports computer game called Strat-O-Matic. I also enjoy fantasy football and basketball. Beyond that, not a whole lot. My poor wife, however, does enjoy playing various types of games. I need to find a solution for that: preferably one that doesn’t involve my playing card, board, or dice games.
Still, I play games at home all the time, it’s just that most people don’t realize they’re games. I’ll give you a few examples.
Is this shirt clean or dirty?
You can substitute other articles of clothing for the shirt. Sometimes when my wife asks me that, I have to play detective. Is there any obvious dirt or stain on it? Does it pass the smell test? and really, what constitutes “clean” or “dirty.”
Does wearing a garment one time make it dirty? I think not. And where you are going to wear an article of clothing enters into the equation. For example, there’s zoom clean and there’s in-person clean. Obviously, the standards for zoom clean aren’t as stringent. For zoom clean, the smell test really isn’t a factor. Unless the stench is so bad you can’t stand yourself.
