MEAT! the game

Dear Messrs. Milton and Bradley,

I write to call your attention to a new game being played in kitchens across the country: MEAT. It starts with a pound or so of ground beef to which some sort of spices have been added to make it a bit more tasty. A spoon and some sort of dish are also a good idea.

Both girls and boys may play, but one at a time is preferable. We will call the contestants/combatants in this particular example Noah and Dad.

Step One: Noah runs away by going out the front door or up the bunk bed ladder. While running he turns and calls over his shoulder, "MEAT!"

Step Two: Dad chases Noah to wherever he has gone, attempting to extract him from a hiding place and gently drags him, both howling with laughter, back to the kitchen both calling out, "Meat," as they go.

Step Three: Noah is placed in a chair and says again, "Meat," at which point dad takes a spoon filled with the above mentioned food and attempts to insert it into Noah's mouth. While this is taking place, Noah may block, weave, duck and dive to avoid the spoon.

Step Four: Dad eventually succeeds in inserting the spoon into Noah's mouth which is followed by Noah trying to swallow while laughing.

Step Five: Game continues until container is empty or dad collapses. Noah then be declared the winner and eat the rest of the meat on his own. Followed by strawberries as needed.

I submit this game to you for development as a whole family affair, but please do so quickly. Once this game gets out on the internet, your chances of making any profit from it will evaporate as quickly as a bowl full of meat.

Sincerely,
-dad
