To start at the beginning, you have to go way back. You have to go all the way back to 2008. Little Miss Alexis was only two years old and she was all about the color yellow. It was then that a game was born -- Yellow Car.
It's not a real game because a real game would have real rules. This game was entirely concocted in Alexis' head with rules that bend with the wind. The general idea was that you were supposed to look for a yellow car, declare out loud that you found one, and then keep score. Each yellow car was worth a point, except that the rules morphed depending on who was winning. For example, one day buses were worth 10 points, the next they were -10 points. It depended on who spotted the bus first. The only thing that was consistent was that Alexis always cheated.
We played Yellow Car for a long time, with Alexis always winning because she was a cheater. Then one day, we didn't play anymore. It was one of those childhood phases that leaves as quietly as it started. I didn't know when I was playing Yellow Car for the last time; I just one day realized we hadn't played in a long time. Alas.
Fast forward a few years.
The game started again as quietly as it did the first time. Out of nowhere, Alexis suddenly yelled "Yellow Car!" and it was on like Donkey Kong. Mila chimed in, pointing at the car Alexis had seen and yelling, "There it is!"
I, of course, have years of losing to make up for. I joined in immediately with full intentions to destroy Alexis. I was determined to become the Queen of Yellow Car.
I'm still not the Queen of Yellow Car. Apparently that cheating thing is hereditary because now Mila is doing it. She randomly yells "YELLOW CAR!" and neither Alexis nor I are ever certain if it's true or not. We can't take away the point because we can't prove that there's not a yellow car there. Sometimes there is. Sometimes there isn't.
Mila is winning every single day.
Welp, at least the girls finally have something in common. They're both Cheater McCheatersons at Yellow Car.
