Bologna

Last night we played bologna. I used to play this all the time as a kid, except we used a different name. The basic idea is bluffing. You have to make other people believe you laid down a certain number and kind of card. Well, I've had a lot of practice because we used to play it all the time especially when we were camping. Plus I can read my family pretty well so I was doing pretty good. Riley pulled out the glasses in hopes of improving his poker face. I tried to argue that sunglasses were against the rules, but Jeremy said it was allowed in poker games so I caved. Jeremy was hilarious ~ he is just not suited for games like these. You see he is what we like to call organized, orderly and factual. So this whole game which basically has no point other than fun and no real strategy wasn't exactly his idea of fun. It's just mostly guessing and that's too much for him to handle. He finally decided he would simply stop trying to figure out who was bluffing so he wouldn't have to pick up any more cards. It reminded of a time I asked him the question "If the house was on fire and you could only save one thing what would it be?" He just doesn't do the hypothetical. His response was something like the house isn't on fire, there wouldn't be just one thing to save, what if what I wanted was already burned... I quit running through these scenarios with him a long time ago.
