OK, so I just got home from playing Bingo and I won! Well I sorta won, it cost me $22.00 to play and I won $24.00 so I am $2.00 ahead. Oh, I forgot, I bought a Coke so I am only really $1.00 ahead. Oh well, who is counting? Well if you want to get down to the nitty gritty I am counting, well I was counting until a couple of week ago. About 3 years ago I decide to keep track of how much it cost to play and how much I won. First year I keep track I won $3.00, not bad at least I was ahead of the game. Second year I lost $83.50, so alright I think, I really only go for the social side of the game because you see all my friends go and it is fun! Right!!!! OK, so a new year right? So by the end of February I am down $129.00, so guess what I have quit keeping track. Now I don’t want you to think that I lied about going to play for the social part of the game because I do but it is easier to enjoy the social end of the game if you are winning sometimes or you are not aware of the amount of money it is costing to be so social! Oh, and one more thing I sometimes might lie about, is how many 4’s I have on my cards. Now don’t ask me to explain the 4 thing all I know is that for some reason they count how many 4’s they get to mark when the number is called and then they hold up the number they had. Like 4 fingers for the 4’s they had. Now sometimes I forget to count, so I lie and hold up however many fingers I feel like holding up. Only thing is, my Mom use to say “You can lock your door against a thief but you can’t lock it against a Lie-er! So as you might guess I am not very likely to lie, none of us kids are but gee Mom I wish you were still around so you could let me know, is that really a lie or just a nice way to enjoy the game as much as those who counted their 4’s.
