"Dungarunga:" "The ancient Rungonian-styled dance honoring the Greek goddess of feces; Dunga."
"Zazzera:" "The pronunciation of the word "Sahara" spoken by an individual with a speech impediment."
"Ramfeezled:" "The process of being rammed right in the feezle. Ouch."
"Schwenkfelder:" "The name used to describe a grumpy old man. For example, "Get off my lawn!" the Schwenkfelder grumbled."
The game is "Balderdash," where a word is given, and the players have to invent a definition. To those definitions is added the correct one, and everyone has to guess which is real. If your definition is chosen, you get a point for everyone you have managed to deceive. As you might gather by the above definitions offered by our eldest granddaughter, she didn't win many points, but we all won an enormous amount of laughter. Seeing the utter delight on her face as she actually doubled over with laughter was priceless, as was the evening spent around our kitchen table with the kids.
Alex has her dad's sense of humor and her uncle Matt's odd wit. And her own smile, which made for a fun evening. The aforementioned words actually exist and have real-life meanings, but we'd have to rummage through the cards to find out what they are. That's too much work. Besides, I kind of like her definitions. They may not be correct, but they made for a lot of fun. Am I grateful? Yep. Having the grandkids over is always an experience. Listening to Alex's offbeat sense of humor is the icing on the cake.
