Jinx

As many of us know "the rules of jinx are unflinchingly rigid."  That is why children should not not be taught the game until they are at least never.  Unfortunately we did not learn this until important lesson until it was too late.  Now in our house "jinked" has lots more rules:

1.  Singing doesn't count
2.  You must actually speak at the same time.  Thinking something someone else says does not count.
3.  There is a time limit on how long you have to think of what the other person must do, you cannot leave someone in silence infinitely (since no soda is allowed for the children).
4.  You cannot sit and listen to someone speak and just try and think of their next word to "jink" them.
5.  Mommy and Daddy have vitto power over what you can make us do

Those are the rules, for now, I'm sure as this game continues to develop more will come.

PS.  It wuld apear I know longr hav spel cheker so watch out wurld!

Haha, I like those rules...although I think number 4 is pretty brilliant. I can't wait to see all the new blogging this year!
Oh, by the way, when I switched pages to the Growing Green page and tried to come back by clicking the "home" link, it didn't work. Maybe it was just my computer, but I thought I'd let you know, just in case :)

Shouldn't the punishment for a jinx always be the same? Or are there rules on the punishment? If not, I would suggest you forbidding the jinxed from ever jinxing you. Immunity.

And I agree that rule 4 is a little crippling to the game. Not to mention it discourages the development of telepathic powers. I bet Professor X was allowed to play the Jinx Game that way.
