This weekend Patrick and I bought scene it, a boardgame with a DVD and trivia questions about movies and TV. Normally that is the type of trivia I can actually beat him on, but this game was really hard. Patrick beat me three times to my one win. I felt a need for revenege in order to help my wounded ego, so I suggested we play the 90’s edition of Trivial Pursuit that he got for Christmas. I am better at that version than any other besides the 20th anniversary edition.

But apparently I was having a huge mental lapse because I forgot I was suggesting playing against Patrick, the King of useless trivia. He was beating me very badly but I caught up. We’ve started playing the way were after you get all the pie you have to go to the center and answer a question from the category of the opponents choice. We never played that way in my family. So finally we were both to that point but we kept missing questions when we were in the middle. And then Patrick got an easy one, and he won!

So the moral of the story is, if you want to win a trivia game, don’t play against Patrick. He knows things he has no reason to know especially when he can’t remember things I said to him 5 minutes ago! And he is the master of pulling answers out of thin air. I swear he can see through the cards!
