The Quiet Game

We went to IHOP today for Lunch. Coincidentally, Karianne just discovered there is a restuarant out there that serves pancakes all day long! Who knew!
Anyway, the girls were loving their chocolate chip pancake and were having a grand time. Brent said "Let's play the quiet game!" They had never heard of that before and were intrigued. Angie is great at the quiet game, Amy is awful at it, and Karianne is somewhere in between. We recently just taught rock paper scissors to them as well so Amy was a little confused. Brent would say, "one two three, ok be quiet" and Amy would hold out her hand for "paper". Karianne and Angie would sit really quiet and Amy would pepper us with questions. Karianne thought it really didn't count to whisper to us on how she was doing periodically. She laughed behind her hand and whispered to us, "I love playing the quiet game!"
Yeah...

I took the girls to church tonight and Karianne said, "ok guys, lets play the quiet game, 1,2,3 go!"
Amy said, "right be quiet."
Karianne said, "Amy, you're out"
Amy was quiet for a moment and said, "Kay-ahn you talked!"
Karianne said, "I have to talk because I get to tell you what to do."
Angie chimed in and the game didn't last much longer after that.

But hopefully the will think it is fun for a long time to come. :-)
