Why I love my family

So last night I finally reached my family sometime around 8 (well, 9 for them). Apparently they had been out and weren't just ignoring me. The first request was that I get on Skype so we could video chat. I explained that I wasn't at home and Skype was out of the question. So they put me on speaker so I could hear everyone at home and my brother in Idaho who was on Skype. My mom then explained that we were going to play Balderdash as a family. How does that work when half of the players aren't in the room? It's not as complicated as you may think, but it's close. The brother on Skype would hold up his answers to the camera, and the person collecting answers would turn the screen so no one else could see. Since I was only audio, I could really only vote. After one round, we realized my sister was missing, so we called her on a cell phone to include her in the insanity. It was one of the best games of Balderdash I've ever played. Ever. My family is the best.
