So, I know that everyone in the Jorgensen family already knows this, but I have to tell this story: My cousin, Leslie, invited us other cousins (me, Zack, Randa, and Maddie) to a ward party and then a party at her house. While at the ward party, they played a game of Singled Out (basically a girl/boy asks questions to narrow down her/his perfect boy/girl. Well it was Leslie in the hot seat for the girl's turn and Zack and I decided to go up as a joke. Well, the first question was "Who is your favorite superhero: Batman, Spiderman, or Mr. Incredible?" I immediately went to the Batman group (because he is the coolest superhero in the super universe) and Zack, all by his lonesome, went over to the Mr. Incredible group. The proctor of the game asked Les what her answer was and she says "Umm...Mr. Incredible!" Amazing! Les had narrowed down her dream man in one question--and it was her cousin! Needless to say, we sat down and the other guys restarted the game. I about died laughing. I couldn't breathe for about a minute. But that was not the end of the fun...
The next game was the Battle of the Sexes. The girls got asked "guy" questions and the guys got the "girl" questions. Little did the girls' team know that we had, not one, but TWO secret weapons...me and Zack. Two boys that had, for the better part of their lives, been immersed in the matriarchal Jorgensen universe. When the question came "Elizabeth Bennet is the main character of what novel?" we shouted out in glorious unison "PRIDE AND PREJUDICE! PRIDE AND PREJUDICE!!" The host of the game asked "What is the name of Barbie's little sister?" Zack screamed "SKIP!" and suddenly quieted, "per" because everyone was looking at him weird. They also asked a question about some names and what cartoon they were from: Strawberry Shortcake, My Little Pony, or Carebears. I shouted "My Little Pony," but the rest of my team members scoffed, then groaned as the answer was read: "My Little Pony." Needless to say, we got some weird looks for knowing so much feminine trivia. I guess all those hours watching Jane Austen period films has finally paid off.
