I Like Being Absurd

I sometimes play a game with Katie where we argue over opposites.
"What's the opposite of a school bus?"
"Spaghetti."
"That's ridiculous."
"No it isn't, there is nothing more unlike a school bus than spaghetti."
"What about hydrogen?"
"Shut up."
"Okay, then what's the opposite of a paper clip?"
"Feta Cheese."
"No way, it's Richard Nixon."
This can go on for awhile, and inevitably tempers flare. Then Cara tells us to shut up, but usually she has to do it a few times before we listen. It's a fun game.
