Cheater, Cheater, Pants on Fire

Filed Under: BLOG, Crazyiness, Family Life, Kevin, Life in General, Married Life Tagged With: Cheating, funny, Gaming, Kevin, Trivia Crack

“I have been going easy on you!”

I got to hear that statement from Kevin, a once known UNO card game cheater, but it all started way before that comment a few weeks before with a text from Kevin, that read…

Trivia Crack Text Message

It all started so innocently…

I admit I am not a big video/phone gamer (still more of a board game player) and once upon a time ago I even tried Words with Friends and got bored, stopped playing – end of story.  But still, I was now intrigued.

Yet, I got sidetracked with other things (surprise, surprise with all have do have on my plate).  It just so happened to be a Friday and so it goes – the weekend came and went.  So, did the following week of work, too.

Then, we got the dreaded and impending Juno blizzard.  When a bit of blizzard boredom set in (as if, with being a wife and mom), finally curiosity got the better of me.

So, I opened up the Apple store, downloaded the app, and challenged Kevin to a game.

Trivia Crack App

I admit I should have known better. I mean this was the boy who once was known for throwing cards he didn’t like under the table during that aforementioned infamous UNO game of 2003!

But still, I couldn’t resist and there must be something to the title having “crack” in it (not that I would know, but still just saying!).

So, for hours that first day, we played each other and then this happened…

Bragging Rights for I won the first game

Bragging Rights Baby!!

Yes, I actually won that first game against Kevin the lifelong gamer.

And I took to Facebook, to share my happiness (OK, I may have been gloating a bit) as when I won, Kevin proceeded to begrudgingly tell me just as the first line above stated, “I have been going easy on you!”

And with that it was game on for the next round, where I had the first turn and had gotten two crowns (you need six to win) before my luck ran out leaving it to be Kevin’s turn.

I shut the app and waited.

Then waited some more.

And then a bit more.

Finally, it was my turn.

Kevin had stolen one of my crowns, as well as had now gotten all but one crown left to win.

First words out of my mouth, at this point was, “You know this is UNO all over again!”

To wit he countered with a grin the size of Texas, “I have no idea what you are talking about!”

“You know exactly what I am talking about, cheater, cheater, pants on fire!,” I exploded with laughter looking at the aforementioned grin on his face.

“Who me, a cheater?!,” he coyly stated.

“You know it, I know it, we all know it!”, I now shared a bit louder.

“You can’t prove anything and maybe you just are a sore loser,” he said mockingly.

“First off, I didn’t lose anything yet.  And I may not be able to prove it, but I know that Google is on your phone and pretty sure that you are smart enough to know how to use it!”, I added.

“What is this Google, you speak of!”, he teased.

“OK, I get it.  I may have been born at night, but not last night!”, I simply stated after exhausting all my thoughts on this.

Cheater, cheater, pants on fire! #love #marriage

And with that I took the high road and continued on with the game, which was now pretty much all but a losing cause, because I lost the current hand and with only one crown to obtain in his last hand, of course Kevin won.

One a cheater, always a cheater with Rachel from Friends

For all the Friend’s lovers out there, this one is for you!!

Once he won, he decided to challenge me for a rematch and I did what any scorned wife who had been cheated on would do.

I kicked him and his new challenged game to the curb, because as Rachel from Friends once told Ross, “My mother always said once a cheater, always a cheater!” or maybe I am just a sore loser, but then again my own mama didn’t raise a fool!

    I love that line from Rachel!! Well it can be hard to beat our husbands with such games eh? Maybe we need more practice.. or we need more cheats?? LOL

    • Janine says

      February 9, 2015 at 6:46 am

      Rea, I love the way you think and we might just need more practice and more cheats, too 😉

  2. Nellie @ Brooklyn Active Mama says

    February 9, 2015 at 7:11 am

    Lol! This is so funny!! I’ve been seeing my friends play this game and I’ve been super curious about it! I love the friends throwback!! 🙂

    • Janine says

      February 9, 2015 at 7:15 am

      Nellie, I seriously was giggling writing this one and the Friends reference was a total must! 😉

    My husband finally got me started….

      February 9, 2015 at 12:57 pm

      Liza, it is so much fun, but totally addicting, too! 🙂

  4. Robin (Masshole Mommy) says

    February 9, 2015 at 7:47 am

    If Chris had cheated in a game with me once, I never would have played anything with him ever again. Like Rachael said – once a cheater, always a cheater

    • Janine says

      February 9, 2015 at 7:57 am

      Lol, Robin I agree totally. And the funny part is, he keeps begging me now to play him, because no else will! 😉

  5. Alexa says

    February 9, 2015 at 8:06 am

    Oh my goodness, delete that game RIGHT NOW! There’s a reason it’s called crack. My husband can’t get his face out of his phone now. He plays it all day. Drives me nuts.

    • Janine says

      February 9, 2015 at 8:49 am

      Alexa, I know I agree and so very addicting! Glad it isn’t just us though 🙂

  6. Bev says

    February 9, 2015 at 8:08 am

    Hehe, cute story. I don’t think Sam has ever cheated at a game. But perhaps he has and I was none the wiser. Despite Kevin’s cheating ways, you two sound like you have a lot of fun with each other 🙂

    • Janine says

      February 9, 2015 at 8:50 am

      Bev, I thank god we do still have this kind of fun and I mean it when I say this post was totally written out of love and fun 😉

  7. Kathy Radigan says

    February 9, 2015 at 8:42 am

    My husband is also a cheat, though he will never admit it. As for online games, I won’t even go there with him!! Very funny! xo

    • Janine says

      February 9, 2015 at 8:50 am

      Kathy, I love that we have this in common, too!! xoxo 🙂

    February 9, 2015 at 8:47 am

    I’ve been playing trivia crack. the first couple rounds were really easy – I think it gives you harder questions as you go up in levels!

    • Janine says

      February 9, 2015 at 8:52 am

      I think you may totally be right as the questions definitely have gotten a bit harder in the games I am still playing.

  9. Crystal says

    February 9, 2015 at 9:03 am

    Must step away from Trivia Crack! LOL I’ve been playing on and off for weeks. Highly addictive!

    • Janine says

      February 9, 2015 at 9:09 am

      Crystal, I know seriously so addictive and totally been playing it here, too, although not with Kevin anymore lol!! 🙂

  10. Diane Roark says

    February 9, 2015 at 9:15 am

    Janine,

    What is it with competition between us and our husbands. I too always want to beat him at anything. I am not sure that is the Christian thing to do, but it is a lot of fun to have bragging rights. Unfortunately, most of the time he beats me. He is normally polite and does not brag. I am the one with a serious competitive problem.

    Thanks for sharing! I am going to ask my teens about this game. I am sure they have heard of it. I will let you know if I beat my husband.

    Blessings,
    Diane Roark

    • Janine says

      February 9, 2015 at 9:17 am

      Diane, I love that it just isn’t me and totally ask your kids about this game and pretty sure they must know of it. If you do play it, find me and would love to play you on it, too 🙂

  11. Debbie McCormick says

    February 9, 2015 at 9:23 am

    Well, you should play him again and cheat. Open Google and be ready. All is fair in love and war.

    • Janine says

      February 9, 2015 at 9:24 am

      Debbie, I love the way you think and might just have to do that now!! Thanks 🙂

    This is so funny, Janine! Dying over your write-up and now I REALLY want to check this app out!

    • Janine says

      Meredith, seriously find this app and so play me (as long you don’t cheat, lol!!)

  13. Seana Turner says

    February 9, 2015 at 9:56 am

    I’ve been seeing these game scores on my news feed and wondering what they are all about. I would never compete with my husband. His head is a fount of knowledge — I don’t think he forgets anything. It’s almost weird. We fight it out over Scrabble, where at least I have a chance!

    • Janine says

      February 9, 2015 at 10:07 am

      Seana, so is mine and should have known better lol!! 🙂

    Oh man, my husband would kick my butt – I have learned to accept his reign as the trivia master.

    • Confessions of A Mommyaholic says

      February 9, 2015 at 3:16 pm

      Susanne, I should have totally learned, but next time I just have to remind myself of this time!! 😉

    Thanks for a great laugh on this rainy Monday. Have a great day, Janine, and thank you for your friendship.

  16. Kathy Radigan says

    February 9, 2015 at 3:10 pm

    I will never play this with my husband as it would surely lead us to divorce court. And yes, the man cheats, cheats, cheats! Lol!

    • Confessions of A Mommyaholic says

      February 9, 2015 at 3:15 pm

      Lol, Kathy, totally why I kicked playing this game to the curb with him, too 😉

  17. Jen says

    February 9, 2015 at 10:11 am

    Haha! Cheater, cheater for sure! I can never play against my husband and win. He beats me every time and I am usually the one who ends up cheating to try and win!

    • Janine says

      February 9, 2015 at 10:18 am

      Jen, I know I should totally have tried my hand at cheating, too, but I am so not a good liar and he would have figured me out pretty quickly, too 🙂

    What a stinker!! My little one tries to cheat at board games…is this what his future wife has in store? hhahahhahaa

    Ken tried to get me into playing that Song Pop game, but I am horrible at knowing the names and artists associated with songs. I lost all the time and then I just gave up and deleted the app.

    • Janine says

      February 9, 2015 at 1:51 pm

      Rabia, I know I am terrible at stuff like that, too and would have lost a whole bunch of time, as well if that were me.

  21. Kim says

    February 9, 2015 at 1:04 pm

    HaHa – I love this!! I’m sort of addicted to Trivia Crack!! I had been playing for a couple of weeks when Chris said something about skipping a question. What?! You can’t skip. Yep, he had been skipping if he didn’t know the answer. I told him that was cheating!!! (he pretty much always beats me too)

    • Janine says

      February 9, 2015 at 1:51 pm

      Kim, this is so why we are friends. I have to look for you on Trivia Crack and would love to play you 🙂

  22. Lauren Baker Cormier says

    February 9, 2015 at 1:06 pm

    We’re a competitive crowd in my house. I’m going to have to check this app out. My hubby doesn’t cheat (per se), but one time when he realized he wasn’t going to win, he threw the game so that his mom would instead. I guess I should be happy that he treats his mom nicely, but I was pretty annoyed at the time… probably because I was ahead!

    • Confessions of A Mommyaholic says

      February 9, 2015 at 1:55 pm

      I so would have been annoyed, too, but my husband as much as he is a nice guy is totally competitive and not sure he would let his mom win by any means!

    • Confessions of A Mommyaholic says

      February 9, 2015 at 2:08 pm

      OK, that was pretty nice in my book and does make sense!! 🙂

    • Lauren Baker Cormier says

      February 9, 2015 at 2:07 pm

      Well, the only reason my hubby did was because he knew he wasn’t going to win. So he figured if he couldn’t, he’d make sure he decided who did 😛

  23. Kristen says

    February 9, 2015 at 1:07 pm

    My husband is soooo competitive I don’t think I could play this with him. Or wait, maybe that’s me! So funny!

    • Janine says

      February 9, 2015 at 1:52 pm

      Kristen, now I know I can’t believe my husband either and it is killing him as he keeps asking me to play him again though 🙂

    February 9, 2015 at 1:54 pm

    Hahaha! You two are so cute. I’m thinking he was definitely cheating. Best to stick with the board games. At least you can keep a better eye on him. 🙂

    • Janine says

      February 9, 2015 at 1:55 pm

      Jennifer, I know board games I so can see what he is up to, but this I totally was on to him and still couldn’t completely prove it! 😉

    God I hate this game. And by hate, I mean I can’t stop playing it. My daughter, who is in a dorm 200 miles away, kicks my ass repeatedly. I actually sneer when I do beat her. THIS GAME IS EVIL.

    • Confessions of A Mommyaholic says

      February 9, 2015 at 9:45 pm

    LOL – first off I LOVE Friends and I actually thought of that line from Rachel before you shared it!

    Secondly, you two are too cute. Seriously.

    Stick to board games where the hands and eyes are at the table at all times.

    I don’t play my husband. He kicks my butt. NOT cool.

    • Janine says

      February 9, 2015 at 8:15 pm

      They totally did and god how I loved Friends (and still do!). And truly glad I am not the only one that gets their butt kicked when playing games with their husband!! 🙂

  33. Dana says

    February 9, 2015 at 7:59 pm

    My husband knows better than to cheat – I am super competitive and if you cheat in a game with me, we are DONE. Needless to say, I am the only one in my family not playing Trivia Crack. I value my relationships too much! 😉

    • Janine says

      February 9, 2015 at 8:16 pm

    February 9, 2015 at 11:52 pm

    My husband wouldn’t cheat, but he’d have a distinct advantage in history, sports and geography that I’m not sure I could overcome. And I would HATE to lose to him. I’d never live it down.

    • Confessions of A Mommyaholic says

      February 10, 2015 at 12:44 am

    February 10, 2015 at 7:18 am

    LOL! It completely went over my head that you were waiting waiting waiting because he was googling and cheating cheating cheating. That’s too funny. Is he on FB where he saw you gloat and comment there that he was easy on you? LOL! I guess it was on after that.

    • Janine says

      February 10, 2015 at 7:26 am

      Kenya, he is such a sneak when it comes to games. And funny thing is he is rarely on Facebook, but totally did see my gloating and that is when it was on like Donkey Kong for him!! 😉

    My husband and I play each other on trivia crack also. It has been loads of fun for us. We have face offs where we set across from each other so we know the other gets no help and decided from those wins who the crack master is!

    • Janine says

      February 10, 2015 at 7:54 am

      Lisa, I love that you too do this and if he does want to play me again might have to institute this here. Thank you for sharing with me!! 🙂

    OHMYGOSH how FUN is this post?!!! I love how you two banter each other and you KNOW guys need to save face… ALWAYS.

    Poor dudes. They simply can’t handle losing. At ANYTHING.

    • Janine says

      February 10, 2015 at 10:58 am

      Chris, I totally know and you said a mouthful about guys, losing and admitting they are wrong (at least mine anyway!) 🙂

    i love it. you guys are hilarious. i’d challenge you to trivia myself, but i would lose!

    I refuse to play Scrabble w/Wolf any more. There’s only one reason he beats me, and it’s b/c he claims that sticking an ‘s’ on a word = him getting all the points.

    If that’s not cheating, it SHOULD be.

    • Janine says

      February 11, 2015 at 11:03 am

      I agree that should totally be and I so wouldn’t play Scrabble with him either if it were me 😉

    Hahaha! LOve the banter! I’m a sore loser too! Which is why my son does not like playing with me! 😀

    I love it! I never play games with my husband because he HATES to lose. And lose he would at Trivia Crack! I do play with my kids, which is a little unfair, but I see it as a learning experience for them :).

      Aww, Sandy I love how you said that he would lose and great learning experience if you ask me, too for the kids 😉

    A good way to deal with Cabin Fever……Kevin cheated but we know you were the winner! He loves to tease! I hear very cold weather and maybe snow may be in the near future for you. More game playing and time to recoup your losses! Have fun and stay warm. Love….xxoo
