No, I wouldn't let me kids play this game -- oh, yes, I would now since they're adults and two of them smoke! but when they were little, no way. Sounds like a fun game for a party - as long as those playing it haven't had too much to drink.

I could totally imagine the scene!

I've never smoked and my worst vise is good wine. Exposure to bad habits in childhood doesn't necessarily mean as an adult you'll turn to them. I guess we're examples of that. The most important part of your life was that you had loving, caring parents who were there. <br /><br />Loved the story, but I knew I would.cleemckenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456109243453726483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-42731292348923764232012-03-05T14:52:33.089-06:002012-03-05T14:52:33.089-06:00I love it!

I did try cigarettes a while in college, but my parents didn't smoke. I didn't like the stinky smell, and I ultimately quit that before it became a habit, thank goodness. :o)<br /><br />Fun stories, though.

I can't imagine it had any negative affects on you, right? I don't see the harm in a game like that under adult supervision!

I was lucky we had the beach house. Every weekend my brother's friends and my friend's would come down and we'd all get tossed in some form of alcoholic libation. And we were only 16. BUT we were at the beach house with my parents. We couldn't leave. Couldn't drive.<br /> <br />Nowadays that's considered a crime and my parents would be arrested.Anne Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816355522284492131noreply@blogger.com
