Chelsey answers Alec

Last night, Chelsey, McKenzie, Maddie and I delivered this little "game" to Alec's house. Chelsey worked on it all morning. It's a little confusing because it kind of appears as a game, but there is really nothing to do. She used and old SceneIt board and covered it with the colors of the game Apples to Apples. She was sticking to the same "apples" theme that he used. The word strips are insided jokes between the two of them so they don't really make any sense to me. She took the cards and glued plain paper on the other side, then wrote random letters on them. The last line of the "game" tells him that there are 2 letters in the stack to the answer to his question, meaning 2 y's 2 e's and 2 s's. We drove over around 9 pm. When we were almost there, we realized we hadn't planned on how to give it to him. McKenzie and Maddie made up song that went something like this. (to the tune of Children of the Lord)

Play this game
Eventho it's not really a game,
Play this game
Eventho it's not really a game,

To find out if you have a
date to Homecoming
Alec this is for you!
Hey!

OK, so it was made up in a hurry. They went to the door and Chelsey hid behind a bush. As soon as he answered, they started singing (mixed with a lot of giggles) then his dog started jumping on them so they were very distracted. They made it through the song, sort of, and handed him the game. They all came giggling back to the car. It was very cute and fun. On the ride home, Chelsey realized she never put her name anywhere on it. I sure hope he didn't ask a few girls seeing who would accept first!
