I know many other people like me who play cribbage, crib for short. Most of them attended Bible college with me.
Back when I was a young little girl, my Daddy decided that he wanted to teach me how to play crib. Being Daddy's little girl I jumped at the opportunity to play this seemingly grown-up type game. I beat him sometimes, he beat me most of the time.
Now I would consider myself to be a mature cribbage player. Meaning that I've played enough games in my life to see it all. All possible hands probably...including the extremely rare and exciting 29 pointer (if you don't know what that is...learn how to play crib or look it up!).
It was a rather normal afternoon at Bible college. I was playing a game of crib with Naomi, a good friend of mine. We played crib often and she usually won. This game would be no different. She won, skunked me actually (if you don't know what that means, you know what to do). All because she got a 29. A 29 I TELL YOU! I couldn't contain myself, I had to stand up and scream it to the world. A 29!! I scared a few people with my outrageous enthusiasm and excitement (this moment was caught on tape). Naomi just smiled. Just smiled. That's all. I was freaking out and it wasn't even my hand! But then again, I get excited about a lot of things. This one was just slightly more exciting.
So I thought I would share that memory with y'all. I still play crib. I still lose most of the games I play (some people would smirk at that because they gladly helped me gain my losing streak, I still love them anyways). I am still waiting for my very own 29-point hand.
