Change the rules

Written on August 6, 2008

“Well, how about this: shoes and socks stay on, and don’t count in
the clothing count.”
“I don’t know, how are we going to compensate for playing abilities?”
“Well, you’ve got four pieces of clothing to my three.”
“Not good enough, Mister.”
“Okay, how about this, you only take something off for every two
points I make instead of for every one, and I get to count my head band.”
“Okay, but you still spot me 5 points and I get to serve first”
“Hey, this isn’t a hand-out, it’s supposed to be a challenge,
remember?”
“Okay then, we’ll flip my locker key to see who serves.”
“Hmmm…. I guess.”
“Call it in the air, number side or logo side.”
“Logo.”
“You serve.”

It definitely changed the nature of our game. I had not counted points well
enough to realize that I would have to score 12 points to get her naked,
while she would only have to score four points. When the thought hit me
after the first four points (2 mine, 2 hers) I complained.
“Hey, you were the one who suggested it, not me. We’re not going
to change the rules in the middle of a game.” she said.
