We’ve been trying to do this date night thing on the cheap (figs and brie nonwithstanding) and we don’t own Twister. I asked all my local facebook friends if they had one we could borrow (no luck) and checked the game aisle of Goodwill several times.

Of course, once we played with the kids we wanted to buy our own.

I think after all that searching I’ll end up just buying one from Target. Looks like flirting is back on the table.
