I cheated on Fandango’s Flashback Friday.
I went back to 2019 instead of 2020 because last February Covid-19 was in town and I don’t want to revisit that point in time right now. It’s just not far enough in the rearview mirror for me to want to reflect upon.
So I went back two years and found this.
It’s interesting, so I thought I would share it .

When I was learning to play board games and card games I always lost.
I.
Always.
LOST.
No matter how hard I tried, no matter how much effort I put into it
I.
Always.
LOST.
The crazy thing is, I kept getting board game and decks of cards for birthday presents and Christmas presents and it was a joke because when my family set the game up anyone could predicate that
I.
Was.
Going.
To.
LOSE.
This little note about me was as predictable and it was a solid stone cold fact that when we went out for a meal my baby sister would always spill her drink.
Every.
Single.
Time.
The Sun will rise, the Moon will set, the planets will twirl.
And
I will always lose at games.
After years of never wining a
Single.
Solitary.
Game.
I refused to play games anymore.
Because
I
Was.
Always.
Going.
To Lose.
I
Think
I have learned a
lesson- whether it was a good lesson or a bad lesson isn’t the point because in the end
the epitaph on any tombstone will say that
She.
Never.
Played Games.
This is not such a bad way to be remembered.

Daily Addictions Prompt: PREDICT
Just an FYI. For the Flashback Friday post you can go back to any year on this same date, not just last year. My flashback posts can go back 10 or more years.
What a clever ending — of or [well-told] lead in for the post.
Thank you Marleen!
