Barf Bag Game

Now that we're back from Lisbon, look for a PTT Tale this week. In the meantime, make your air travel more fun with the Barf Bag game. It's easy and fun to play! Besides that, it makes flying more enjoyable (if that's even possible).

I thought of this one as we had 30 minutes left in the air last night on our way home from Lisbon. It came to me as I realized the barf bags stuffed in the seat pocket in front of us are a good size for poop bags. And since the only plastic bags you get in Germany are those flimsy ones for fruit and vegetables or the ones you buy, I thought it was the perfect way for us to collect at least a few weeks worth of morning and night disposables.

Here's how to play: as you're exiting the plane, see how many barf bags you can collect on your way out. It's that easy. No learning required. Stop along the way to grab a whole aisle's worth. Or, if you're concerned about the people behind you, swiftly pick them up as you make your way to the exit. Once you regroup outside the terminal door or at baggage claim, count your bags to see who's one.

Last night, I snatched 13. Chris hoarded 11. That's not quite two weeks worth of poop bags, but it's close. See how many you can collect next time you fly. If anything, it gives you something to focus on besides the non-stop talker beside you. And if you don't have a dog, they make good hand puppets.
