Where do all the bits go? There must be truck loads of Scrabble letters, Kerplunk sticks and Cludo weapons somewhere. What about all the jigsaw pieces you never found again?
Kerplunk was always the most annoying, quite a fun game (the children in the John Moores catalogue looked like they were having a terrific time) but you always end up with the jar contraption and a few desultory marbles and not enough sticks to hold the them up. The catalogue didn't show that did it? Perfect children sobbing because they had lost the bits.
A bit like 'Grand Designs' never go back to all those perfect people living in perfect houses with loads of glass walls. I yearn to see Kevin the 'compere' go and do a surprise visit a year later to see whether the perfect people are finding life with ten gallons of Windowlene, a chamois and a tall stepladder getting dull. Those minimalist houses wouldn't have a Kerplunk stick out of place, and I bet they have the full compliment of Scrabble letters in the box, hidden to create the illusion they never get bored enough to resort to board games. What do people do in minimalist houses? Do they panic that, just by being in them, they make them untidy?
Live life to the full and fling those Kerplunk sticks around with abandon, make rude words with Scrabble letters and throw away one piece of every jigsaw puzzle you own.
