It’s a game we played as kids, but many of us still play as adults (because alcohol). Just ask someone, right now, “Did you ever play Show Me Yours I’ll Show You Mine?” I just asked a friend sitting beside me in this coffee shop and got a bashful smile and a reluctant yes. And it’s something many people are ashamed of, or won’t talk about doing, but a lot of people do. It’s doesn’t mean anything while at the same time meaning everything. But it also grinds against our personal comforts at the expense of satisfying curiosity - a paradox we’re faced with frequently in life. It’s taboo, breaking the rules your parents and teachers imposed upon you, so that’s awesome. If you’ve never played, worry not: the rules are the simple. I remember the first time I played Show Me Yours I’ll Show You Mine.
