Turning 50 In One Red Land, Differently, part 3 - games

Tonight, it’s my turn.
For most of our parties, I handled reception and guests, games and party activities (since my family and I have long realized that I have not been blessed with culinary talents). Tonight, I am relieved as Arthur (my youngest brother) substitutes for me as the party clown-mascot. Tonight, I celebrated a passage to the next half century by “retrogressing” — enjoying playtime as I rarely did in childhood (since I spent time studying to get good grades and be a model eldest sister to my siblings). It was a chance to get physical, rough and spontaneous; to have fun, and to laugh out loud. Why not? Even my 75-year old mom joined the games.
