I love a game that makes 9-year-olds giggle. Mikey is 9, and he introduced us to a card game on Christmas night called Kids Against Maturity. It’s a kind of “blankety bank” game where the chairman reads out a sentence with a blank in it, and the contestants have to fill in the blank from a set of cards they’ve drawn randomly from the box.

Lots of rude words appear on the cards — words like “butt” feature prominently, and there’s a lot of infectious giggling.
