Crazy Bingo
I thought I'd seen it all. Then I went to BINGO night at an elementary school. Should be fun, right? No one taking it too seriously, right? Wrong. In typical Jackson family style, Ben and I are sitting at the table playing Bingo. Playing 8 cards of Bingo. Because Charles is chasing Lily (it was his turn) and Sofia was playing with a friend. Ben decided to bale. He'd just finished dinner and wanted to get up and move around, so now it is just me playing 8 cards of Bingo. (2 per family member in case you're not getting the math.) And I won! Ben is excited, he collects his prize, and the guy behind me throws a fit. An honest to goodness, "that woman is a cheater!" fit. And he just keeps on going. Through the next three games. And then to anyone who will listen to him. Frankly, it was ticking me off!!!! I looked around the room and I was not the only person playing cards for MIA family members. What do you think? Did I cheat? Am I missing the spirit of the evening? I offered my cards to my friend at our table. She refused to take them lest she get beat up in the parking lot on the way out if she'd won.
