Heads Up

Last night the girls and I played Heads Up, the game in which a player must guess the word, name, or action on a cell phone held up to her forehead, based on clues given by the other players.  Here are some of our most amusing rounds of guessing:


ANSWER: FRUIT OF THE LOOM
Guesser: Me

JULIA: Oh, I think they make, like...baby stuff...
ME: Pampers?  Babies R Us?
MADELEINE: Uh...you EAT a PLANT...
ME: Huh?  Gerber?  Baby food?

TIME UP

JULIA: It was Fruit of the Loom.
ME: Oh.  Honey, they make underwear, not baby stuff.



ANSWER: AUGUST ALSINA
Guesser: Julia

MADELEINE: (blank look) Uh...
ME: Um, my birthday month.
JULIA: August.
ME: Yeah. And then...a weird sounding last name that I've never heard of.
JULIA: ...
ME: ...
JULIA: Um...
ME: Just skip it.



ANSWER: NBA
Guesser: Me

MADELEINE: Oh!  Baseball!
ME: Major League?
JULIA: No, Madeleine, that's BASKETBALL.
ME: Wait, what?
JULIA: Never mind, just skip it.



ANSWER: Tylenol
Guesser: Julia

ME: It's like Advil, but a different brand.
JULIA: Oh, um, Aspirin?
ME: Another brand.
JULIA: ...
MADELEINE: It's kinda like..."Ty..."
ME: Honey, you can't say part of the word.
MADELEINE: It's kinda like the name "Ty..." Ty's a name, right? Is it a name?
ME: It is, but you can't use that as a clue because it's part of the word.
JULIA: I have no idea.

Even with that much of a giveaway, Julia failed to guess Tylenol.



ANSWER: Hip-hop
Guesser: Me

JULIA: Hamilton is this...
ME: Musical?
JULIA: And rap...
ME: Music?
MADELEINE: Eminem, Jay-Z...
ME: Rappers?
JULIA: (jutting her hip out and pointing at it)
ME: Butts?
