While on a road trip, my 7-yr-old and 5-yr-old sons were playing games in the backseat of the car.  One of them suggested, “Let’s play 'I’M TRYING TO GET MY WORK DONE'!”

I had never heard of this game before so I listened carefully to learn the rules.

Apparently, one of them pretends to be an Adult, and the other one tries really hard to irritate the Adult.  When the Adult has had enough, the Adult yells, “I’M TRYING TO GET MY WORK DONE!” and then adds some sort of punishment like “No video games for a week.”

I said I had never heard of this game, but I have an eerie feeling that I have unknowingly played it before.
