I was going to give you RYE!
Ken and Leslie flew up from Florida, so Brian’s immediate family was all in Toledo for Christmas. We had ample opportunity to talk and catch up, and also to play games. This year, we pulled out PIT, a game that involves lots of hollering and fast-paced trading of cards between the players, until someone collects all the cards of a grain (corn, wheat, oats, etc.) and smacks the bell in the middle of the table to close the round.
In one round, Ken tacitly ignored Leslie despite her repeated pleas to trade. After the bell rang, and we discovered that Leslie held the two cards Ken was lacking to complete his hand, Leslie exclaimed with much frustration, “I was going to give you RYE!” Between this phrase and Anise cookie jokes, we managed to laugh for a good part of our time in Toledo.
