Adam and Eve being electrocuted at the Playboy Mansion

adamandeve

On Thanksgiving Day we played a game called “Who? What? Where?” Each player draws three cards, a “who”, a “what”, and a “where”, and attempts to draw a picture depicting the random scene. The goal is to get the other players to correctly identify the who, what and where. The image above is the contribution of one of the younger players, a 13 year-old.  After each player guessed the 13 year-old admitted she only knew what the “what” was.

Note the boy outside the mansion, playing.

    The boy outside the mansion is an apocryphal figure, having been cast out of Eden in advance of Adam and Eve.

    What a brilliant drawing.

    The boy outside the mansion, like the creator of the drawing, lives in a state of radical innocence, ignorant as he is of ‘Adam and Eve’ and of ‘the Playboy Mansion’.

    “radical innocence”

    Sheila I believe you are brilliant.

    Sadly, the creator of the drawing’s state of radical innocence was partially destroyed as a room full of former Christians attempted to explain the story of Adam and Eve.

    In hindsight, it would have been easier to begin with the Playboy Mansion.

    a room full of former Christians attempted to explain the story….

    There is so much I would add in metaphor. The Playboy Mansion. The Garden of Eden. The Innocent. The innocence lost. Isn’t it part and parcel one to the other? I love the idea of the game you’ve proposed. Where might we find a set of “these cards,” Michael? I feel we need to have them on hand for innocent after dinner games at our house.

    Rick, it comes with paper and is great for after drinking…I mean dinner. Who? What? Where?
