Dinner with a Friend

On Monday night, my friend (and hairstylist for 6 years) invited me over for dinner to get me out of the house while Steve and his buddies moved our stuff into a giant tractor trailer. She cooked an excellent roast in the Crock Pot -- perfect for getting me into the Midwestern spirit. We then played Apples to Apples with her two boys. One of the boys had a green card that said "dangerous." The other boy put in a red card that said "The Midwest." I thought "bubble gum" was a much better response but it was not a winner. Later, we found out that he was thinking of the Middle East, not actually the Midwest.
