Blokus

Son #2 and I were in Barnes & Noble looking for ideas for the neighborhood gift swap. I came across a strategy game I had never seen before and asked, "What about Blokus?" which I pronounced BLOWkus.

He looked at the box and started laughing at me, "Uh mom, judging by the box, I'm guessing it's pronounced BLOCKus." He then spent the rest of our time in the store chuckling and repeating BLOWkus under his breath.

Now he's using it in all sorts of sentences.

The hubby and I were laughing our heads off the other night. Son #2 came down from his bedroom where he's supposed to be sleeping, "What's all the BLOWkus down here?"

This morning I told him he looked very handsome. "Yeah, that's a lot of BLOWkus."

I'm afraid of what's next.

It's a game of blocking others apparently. Pure blokus.
