Last night we went to a school trivia fundraiser. You rounded up a table of friends, brought your own snacks and drinks, decorated your table (ours was the best) and then played trivia. The entry fee was pure profit for the school. We had such a fun time, and even had to bring over a separate table for all the snacks we brought. And, of course, we won. Well, kind of. We went into the last round in 2nd place, behind by 2 points. I put on my rally tiara, bet the full 15 allowed for the final question, and successfully put Argentina, Peru, Venezuela and Paraguay in order from largest to smallest. The table that was 2 points ahead of us was sad when the answer was revealed. So that made us the Winners!
Wrong. The lady running trivia said we were 5th. Being at a table full of people unwilling to let it slide, and knowing we got the final question right, a couple of my table mates approached the lady running the contest for a review. We were right. We won. But the money had already been dispensed to a table of 5th grade mothers, and the 5th grade teacher was one of our team members. Happy to know that we were the true winners, we did a parting shot of Jamison and went out to eat.
It was one of those nights of great belly laughs with great friends. I just don't envy the headaches of a few this morning.
