"I have never..."

You know the "I have never..." game? You play it at summer camp sleepovers, on Spring Break road trips, and when you're on tour with your high school marching band. That's right, now you remember.

Just in case, this is how it works. Everyone in the circle puts all 10 fingers up. The first person says "I have never..." and finishes in the sentence with something they have never done (duh). If you HAVE done the thing the person says, you have to clap (so everyone knows you've done it, in case it's embarassing or funny or something) and put a finger down. Last person with a finger up wins. Of course the point is to think of something really good that you have never done that everyone else in the circle has done.

I thought of some really good things I could have used if I had played "I have never..." yesterday, as I did a few things I have never done before, but seem probably common, today.

Yesterday...

1) I had never gone to a movie in a theater by myself. (The Prestige is an AWESOME movie by the way. And Christian Bale is smoking hot. And I didn't actually intend to see it by myself, but things got confusing because I forgot my cell phone and Mexican movie theater organization is craaaazy.)
2) I had never rejected a blog comment. (I'm sorry BP, but I just can't "jeopardize my career" like that, especially after my mother's scolding. Post the comment link-ified and I will gladly oblige.)
3) I had never walked a dog. (That's the killer that would've wiped 'em all out in one round.)

Fortunately, I still am really good at winning "I have never..." with the following...

1) I have never attended the first grade.
2) I have never eaten a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
3) I have never smoked marijuana.
4) I have never smoked a cigarette!
5) I have never seen Ghostbusters.
6) I have never dyed my hair.
7) I have never plucked my eyebrows.
8) I have never bought a television.
9) I have never bought a computer.
10) I have never been to grad school.

BAM. How many fingers do you have left?

Wanna play?

I have two left. Aimee has only one. Here's a couple for you:

I have never seen Beverly Hills 90210, Saved by the Bell, Family Ties, Different Strokes, Growing Pains, Jem, She-Ra, Rainbow Bright or Strawberry Shortcake.

Aimee has never been to the U.S.
