Previously… the night of Black Friday had already brought us a fun time on the Redd Raceway, and even an intense sporting competition in the Redd B.A. And let’s not forget the treachery of Team Diva Wives.

We had finally arrived to the last leg of the evening, which involved a rousing game of Taboo– the Four-eyes (Me, Natalia, and Brent) against everyone else (Spencer, Amy, Kelvin, and Jilleun).

Now, if you haven’t played Taboo, it goes something like this… Essentially, each player has 60 seconds to try and get the rest of their team to guess as many of the words at the tops of the cards as possible. The catch is, you can’t say any of the words underneath it, or you’ll get buzzed and lose points. Here’s what a card looks like:

Well, the game was going nice and smooth until it was Natalia’s turn. She started to address her clues to me:

Natalia: Okay, this is something you liked from your childhood!…

Luis: …uh…

Natalia: …It’s yellow!….

Luis: …Big bird?!… Sesame street!?…

Natalia: No!! (frustrated) You still liked it when you were a little older.

Luis: …Ninja turtles!?…

Natalia: Ugh!!! (more frustrated) NO!!!! Come on!!! You have to get this!!! You liked this as a kid!!!

Luis: ….Uh……

Natalia: It’s asian….

Brent: Pokemon…?

Natalia: YES!!! (angry) Jeez, Luis… POKEMON!! You should have gotten it!!!

Luis: Um, I’ll have you know, that I didn’t get into Pokemon until I was 15.

The back-and-forth surrounding this whole Pokemon thing began to spiral out of control. We were even going to go to “trial” over it… calling witnesses and having Brent’s unbiased brother-in-law Joe give the final ruling.

You can see the controversy explode here. (Notice how Team Diva Wives band together against ME).

For the record, Natalia was exaggerating her being-mad-ness… My favorite line from the video above is:

Natalia: I’m sorry, but I wasn’t a nerd OR an idiot.

And thus ended our night of Reddventures.
