To pee or not to pee?

Josh and I went to my cousins' house to celebrate our grandmother's birthday this Saturday. Whenever we get together, we usually play games like Pictionary, Guesstures, or mahjongg. Since two of my three cousins have gotten laptops, they've taken to leeching off a neighbor's unsecured wireless signal. It becomes difficult to participate in a group activity when one or more people are fixated on their laptops.

Anyways, we wound up playing Pictionary because the grown-ups got to the mahjongg set before we could. On one of the rounds, Josh pulled a card and it was an all-play, so my cousin looked at it too. She said she couldn't do it because she didn't know what the word meant, so Josh thought we had an awesome advantage. Her teammate told her to use the "sounds like" method, but she didn't know how the word was pronounced either. I told Josh to help her out, so he did, and we lost that round.

What was that pesky word? Toupee.

Josh said to everyone, "This is why we had an advantage! She was probably wondering, 'What's a to-pee?'"

After dinner, we got a shot at the mahjongg set. Josh has been pretty determined not to participate in mj, but after 5 years, he finally gave in and started learning how to play. My mom even wrote out the numbers and symbols for him. In our second game, we noticed a few rounds in that Josh had an absurd amount of tiles in his hand. He should've had 13 tiles, but he had 18! That's an entire row from one of the walls you draw from! Jessica and I started cracking up when we realized. We kept laughing and laughing while Josh was sitting there with no idea of what was wrong or so funny to us. When we were finally done laughing, our stomachs hurt. It was awesome.
