Did you ever play “never have I ever” when you were younger? It was a popular way to pass an afternoon waiting in the audience at rehearsals for the school musical or waiting for someone with a car to pick you up from the mall when I was in middle school, then high school.

The game starts off innocently enough. Everyone holds up all their fingers in the air, and you go around the circle stating “Never have I ever…[fill in the blank]” Anyone who *has* done it puts a finger down, and depending on how you play, either all fingers up or down wins.

Once your group gets bored of crap like “never have I ever been to Nebraska” you’ll inevitably move onto the juicer stuff.

“Never have I ever touched a penis.”
“Never have I ever French kissed.”
“Never have I ever let a boy touch my boobs.”
“Never have I ever given a blowjob.”

My sixth grade self always ended up with no fingers left.

It only got worse in high school:

“Never have I ever given a blow job.”
“Never have I ever been eaten out.”
“Never have I ever been caught by my parents. ”
“Never have I ever been caught by his parents. ”
“Never have I ever kissed a girl.”

But at least if I were to play today, I would have a few doozies.

“Never have I ever woken up, hungover, and not known where I was.”
“Never have I ever slept with someone without knowing their first and last name.”
“Never have I ever wondered if I were pregnant, and guessed that if I were, it was either that guy Matt or his cousin.”
“Never have I ever bailed on rent.”
“Never have I ever had a speeding ticket.”
“Never have I ever thought POW MIA was a black power mantra.”
“Never have I ever agreed to have sex with my (current) boss.”

Ok, comment time. “Never have I ever… ” ?
