I'm guilty of a few and YES I am guilty of #1. in my defense my nephew always wants to play TROUBLE and he ALWAYS wins. I came close so many times but he wins in the end. So the one time I won I might have gotten a little carried away. I jumped up, knocking over the dinning room chair, called his father and left him a voicemail that went something like this, "Hey I beat Kanyon at TROUBLE! Call me back". then I chest bumped my nephew, which was more like a rough push, got down in his face pushed my finger into his chest and yelled, "HAHA I won IN YOUR FACE. He took it surprisingly well. He put his hand on his hip, cocked his head to the side, looked me right in the face, and said "why don't you cry about it ya big baby". then walked out. And for all of you who say, to far Amy to far. I would do it all again!
