It's good for adults to play. No, really, it's a scientific fact, and I know this because I've just finished 'The Science of Happiness' and there it was: Play. healthy and healing, a returning to the innocent self that's still in there and loves an outing now and then.
I sometimes play a game that makes my husband's eyes roll. It's usually prompted by an item I hear on the news. It's called, “I Want That Title”. Picking the title is then followed by a lengthy explanation on how good I'd be at it. This is a great game for we Brits whose ceremonial life is generously sprinkled with wonderful, if slightly ridiculous, ones.
I have played with the idea of being, “Black Rod” “Silver Sword of The Bedchamber”, “Grandmaster”, “The Great Architect”, “Lady In Waiting”, “Her Holiness” … and I have laughed my self silly at the implications.
But my very favourite title is, “Grandma”. Last night I got to play grandma, and it was the most fun ever.
thank you, yes we need to play!!!!! LIke you game and will try it. My fav. title is Grandma too and I get to watch 9 mo. old and 11 year old next week…Can’t Wait!
