Or something

Twister just doesn’t work as a game for older folks. Even if you can get into those positions, you can’t hear yourself think over the snapping and crackling of joints.

They’re trying to give you a baby brother or sister, better cover your eyes.

I never got much enjoyment out of Twister. Probably something to do with being colorblind.

WOW flew the whole way out of the chair !

Twister? Oh yes, that’s right!

We got that free sample of (name of little-blue-pill variant goes here)! GO AWAY!!!

Leave it to a family member to come in and catch you doing something embarrassing.

I’m surprised that Opal had that much strength!

Two broken hips later…

Whodathunk!

My follow up from yesterday: after vacuuming the house, my back and hips expressed their agony. I took an aspirin with a large glass of water. Then, like Earl, I plunked down on the floor, with legs in the seat of a wing chair and…it felt SO good! Stayed in that position for 10 minutes, then rolled to the side, swung my legs over the chair arms, and maneuvered into standing position!

“Playing Twister” is exactly why I’d never walk into my parent’s house.

wheres the chair in the last panel?

Just what were they trying to do? Seriously!

My plan from yesterday (without the rope) and she forgot to duck.

Earl got run over by the reign,dear ;)

“Correct, Sylvia! ‘Something’…”

Oooo….a rope and a chair…we’re playing Bondage! Lol

Should have tried this in a recliner

“Oops! I’ll come back later.” ☺

Kinky!

Similar to my wife (RIP) and I c. 1968, and ‘poof’ our second child. Coincidentally, I learned about the birth control pill rule about the break to the next start date.

Or something.

We don’t call it Twister anymore. There’s many variations to this game now, one is called find the contact.
