In similar fashion, when I was a child, my mother introduced my sisters and me to the "the last one to speak is a rotten egg" game. Since no one wanted to be a rotten egg, persumably everyone would stop talking.

But sometimes it's so hard to stop talking when you're told to. And apparently it's hard to stop 'talking' when you haven't anything of substance to say.

Maybe the next time 'someone' talks who keeps saying the same thing over and over and over again, one of us should bring out the kids games.

If the monkey in the courthouse game doesn't get'em, then maybe the rotten egg game will. After all, we're all still kids at heart.

And some of us are more so than others.
