Apples to Nephi

A glimpse into why the McBride clan does not play many board games.

Or

I bet you've never had to pull out the scriptures to win a round of Apples to Apples.

... Mom and Mancub were tied at the end of the game, so we went to a lightning round. Mom and Mancub each had 2 red cards left. We turned over the last green card- Saintly.

Mom's card: Machine Guns

Mancub's card: Deer Hunting.

Mancub's argument: Nephi went deer hunting and prayed about it. And he was as close to a saint as you can get.

Mom didn't try to back hers up. But she did challenge Mancub that if he could finish quoting the scripture, or telling the story, he could win.

Mancub attempted to explain Nephi's broken bow and arrow story.

Mom did not agree.

Which is how our game of Apples to Apples was won by Dad who pulled out his scriptures to tell us the story.

And now you know why we don't play many board games around here.
