Mad Gab

So I was playing Mab Gab with friends tonight and it occured to me that it was 11:00 and I needed to post before midnight. But the game gave me an idea.

Mad Gab is a game with phrases on each side of the card, but they are spelled phonetically different than the real words. For example "Use Mel Could" is for "You Smell Good." Its quite fun because the other team has to guess what the phrase is. The faster and more times you say it, you are more likely to get what its saying.

This concept kind of applies to this class. When I was younger and read the fantasy fairy tales once and moved on with my life, I didn't really catch much. But now, reading them more to really dig whats underneath the surface, It clicks. I get what these stories "are really saying" so to speak. For example, the Cinderella tales. I didn't realize this had a message of inferiority of step-mothers and daughters and of beauty and jelousy and anxiousness. But now all the sudden I'm learning the real messages beneath the childish fairy tale. But the good part is, I can still have fun with the tales as I used to, just like the game...its pure fun.
