40 Going On 14

Thursday night are game night with my friends. We were intending to play Dungeons & Dragons, but we did more talking and joking than any real playing. Some non-game talking and joking is pretty normal for our game nights, but last evening, we probably got in only an hour of actual play time.

My current group consists of four guys between 31 and 51 years old. We’ve had as many as seven people in our group, two of them women. But when it’s just us guys together, we seem to revert to being 13 years old. Our jokes are juvenile, or topics of conversation aren’t polite, and we generally act like pubescent boys.

We talked and laughed till midnight. We usually get plenty of gaming in among our joking and talking, but last night we spent more time ragging on one guy’s home state than we did any gaming.

I prefer to play the game, whatever game, on our game nights—I look forward to these evenings each week—but occasionally, guys just need to be silly. A man who outgrows, or has no outlet for some silliness, becomes boring. Our game group allows for plenty of silliness. We might be boorish at times, but we sure as hell ain’t boring.
