These Attempts At Charades Are A Charade

(The kids, 7 and 11, have decided that we will play charades before bedtime.)

Daughter: “I’ve got one!”

(She indicates two words, and the first word has two syllables. Before she can continue…)

Me: “Spongebob Squarepants!”

(She looks crestfallen.)

Son: “Okay, I have one, since that was so quick.”

(He indicates two words, first word has one syllable. Immediately…)

Wife: “Star Wars.”

(The kids stared at us in total shock. We high-fived.)
