a plan for a quiet dinner

The girls have been playing that dang "jinx, personal jinx" game to the level of severe annoyance. It's the game where if you say something at the same time as someone else, you then say "jinx" and that person can't talk again until someone says their name. Taking it one step further, "personal jinx" means the other person can't talk until the person who said "personal jinx" says their name. You can see how this might be fun in those serendipitous occasions when you say the same thing as someone else... however the girls have taken it one step further. They are planning and making themselves say things at the same time and then screaming "jinx" and "personal jinx" at the top of their lungs.
I say when God gives you lemons, make lemonade... (there are days when I say mix the lemonade you must make with vodka, but thats an entirely different post). So anyway, Jeff and I found a way to get at least one girl to be quiet during dinner... by letting them jinx themselves and then refusing to say their name!
