“The Game? Like “I lost the Game?” It sucks and it’s stupid. Basically, if you think about the Game, you lose the game, and you can’t win. But if someone loses the Game, they have to announce that they lost the Game and then everyone else around them hates them because they also lose the Game and it sucks.”

Thoughts: This is a fun bit of children’s folklore. Almost everyone I know has heard of The Game, so I did some digging online about the origins. According to Wikipedia, it probably originated in England or Australia, sometime during the 20th century. 

PS: If you’re reading this, you lost The Game.
