In Truth, I said, there are no rules other than you have to tell the truth.How do you win? he asked.That, I said, is such a boy question.What, girls dont like to win? He snorted. Please. Youre the one who got all rule driven on me claiming Instant Breakfast isnt a food.Its not, I told him. Its a beverage. He rolled his eyes. I cant believe this, I thought. A week or two ago putting a full sentence together in front of Wes was a challenge. Now we were arguing about liquids.Okay, he said, back to Truth. You were saying?I took in a breath. To win, one person has to refuse to answer a question, I said. So, for example, lets say I ask you a question and you dont answer it. Then you get to ask me a question, and if I answer it, I win.But thats too simple, he said. What if I ask you something easy?You wouldnt, I told him. It has to be a really hard question, because you dont want me to win.Ahhh, he said, nodding. Then, after mulling it for a second he said, Man. This is diabolical. Its a girls game, I explained, tilting my head back and looking at the stars. Always good for a little drama at the slumber party. I told you, you dont want to play.No. I do, he squared his shoulders. I can handle it.
