I have this really good childhood friend named Faith and we would play games and sports and stuff together and one of the things that we would do when we would play games and sports and stuff together.

And one of the things that we would do

when we would hang out with our whole families

because they were all friends

is we would play this game called Snaps,

or maybe game isn't quite the right term,

but it was a secret communication activity.

So I would have my dad or her dad whisper the name of a famous athlete in my ear.

And then I would have to communicate that to faith using sneaky secret in front of everybody

communications.

So dab would whisper like, Darryl Strawberry.

Okay.

So I'd say, all right, the category is athlete, and I would say something like this,

see if you can get what I'm saying to you, try not to miss any of the clues.

Remember every word I say, will you be able to figure this one?

And she'd be like strawberry,

Darrell strawberry.

And everyone whoa, that's amazing, that's incredible.

And the trick was, of course, that the first letter of each phrase represents consonant and

snaps A E, I, O, you, etc. you get how it works would represent vowels and you combine all

with that together and then the quicker she or I could figure out what the code

was pointing toward the quicker we could answer it would just blow people's
