The Glad Game
Jun 21st
So much laughter occurs in chat it’s time to share.
What might seem to some a boring chat on childhood books can lead to so much fun.
Pollyana came up in conversation which led to the Glad Game. Of course being the evil caustic bitches we are, we put our own spin on it.
So have some fun, play the Glad Game and remember stretch those rules!
For those that need reminding here is how the Glad Game was originally played:
“You don’t seem ter see any trouble bein’ glad about everythin’,” retorted Nancy, choking a little over her remembrance of Pollyanna’s brave attempts to like the bare little attic room.
Pollyanna laughed softly.
“Well, that’s the game, you know, anyway.”
“The–GAME?”
