This is a photo of my family playing something called The Muffin Man Game. It’s a long lasting tradition of inflicting shame on anyone who falls for it.

How it works—You ask an innocuous question about an unnamed person. “Did you see her come in?”

If someone asks “who?” Or inquires who “her” is, you reply with “THE MUFFIN MAN”

Everyone in the room then loses their shit and shames the person for falling for it.

@fancysandwiches the more you do it the more people are on alert so we've made up some elaborate schemes to draw people into conversations so they ask "who" lol it's so fun

Omg I can't believe I found this! Here's a TikTok of me trying to get my family at The Muffin Man game and failing miserably. This was in 2021. It feels so long ago. 😭😭

I would love to develop a space on my blog for all my old videos. But of course the HTML spec for videos is a hot mess and I'm guessing Google/YouTube had nothing to do with that I'm sure.

Like just have a space where you could click on one video and flick through them all. This should be easier than it is maybe I'll take on the project anyway. I have a lot of fun videos.
