My wife and I and some other couples were playing charades, men vs. women, and we were doing movie titles. It was my wife’s turn to do the acting, and I was choosing the movie title, so I chose The Sands of Iwo Jima. Boy was she mad! She claimed that was too hard for anybody to get in however many minutes it was we had allotted.
The next time we were at her parents’ house, I got her mother to guess it in less than a minute.

One time, I was playing pictionary and I just guessed “Hippopotomus” the moment my partner put a pen to paper — nothing more than a dot — and I got it right. That was a pretty cool guess.
Another time, I was playing Trivial Pursuit with a friend against five other teams of two. She and I won the game on our first turn — and we went first. That was not well received by the other players.
