Sometimes We Play

It was one of the rare sit-down dinners where everybody was home, everybody felt reasonably well and was in a decent mood, and nobody had any time pressure to go anywhere.  We could relax and enjoy each other's company.

We got into a napkin fight.

We use cloth napkins rather than paper--no particular reason, we just always have.  I think we got a set as a wedding present and it sort of went on from there.  They've lasted forever.

I don't remember who first threw a napkin at who, but it escalated pretty quickly and all five of us were throwing napkins with abandon back and forth.  The conflict raged, alliances were formed, then broken, as allies betrayed allies and former enemies made common cause.

Eventually the battle-passion ebbed and an informal ceasefire began to occur, broken by the occasional lobbed cloth and brief renewal of hostilities.

Slowly, order was restored.

Um.

........................I guess there's not much actual point to this post.

Oh, well.

Hope all's well out there, friends, and God bless.
