21 Funny Games People Play to Keep Life Entertaining

Twice a month, my dad and I boarded the crowded prank dubbed “The Elevator Game.”

“Your agent called,” he’d begin, trying not to laugh. “He needs to know if you’re going to L.A. for the Disney test shoot, or if you’re heading to Olympic training in Texas.” 

“I told him already, I’m practicing for Beijing,” I’d fire back. “I have to be there with Shawn and Nastia. I promised them. Tell Billy Ray I’ll take my cameo next season.”

Sparking puzzled looks from other parents and kids heading in for their appointments, the objective of our game was simple: confuse the hell out of everyone in that elevator. 

My father and I aren’t the only ones who tried to make life’s most Conan O’Brien interviews, oven mitt dolphins and a “violent version of Marco Polo.”
