10th July, 2009 - The Mexican Cup - He Only Eats Tortillas

I have invented a new game for the children. It is called “Mexican Cup”. What happens is that the tallest member of the family (ie Daddy) gets a plastic cup, which is – for the pusposes of the game – re-named “Mexican Cup”.

The Mexican cup then dances across the table cloth (propelled of course by daddy) whilst the whole family sings along to a Mexican flavoured song and /or chants “I am a Mexican Cup”. The smaller members of the family then attempt to place items of foodstuff in the Mexican Cup. The Mexican Cup resists these attempts shouting things like (and you must use a Mexican accent for this: “No! No! Do not feed me Cheerios! I am a Mexican Cup and I only eat tortillas! No – no nonononononono!”.

Inevitably, the children must successfully feed the cup items of European foodstuffs, and this will always leave the Mexican Cup in tears.

Ok – it’s not Buccaroo – but it is a laugh.
