My son and I have been playing this silly game and it’s hilarious

I don’t know if this game has a name.

We started last night and it escalated quickly.

I arrived in Florida from California, my wife met me at the airport Fort in Lauderdale, we drove home and went straight to dinner — it was my Mom’s sixty third birthday.

On our back home after the restaruant, my fifteen year old son Valentin asked from the back row of the car:

“Papa”

“What?”

“Nothing”

“It’s some kind of a new game”, my Mom clarified.

“Yes, to get someome’s attention only to reply “nothing”.

I digested this idea and I fired my first shot just a couple of minutes later, in a creative way.

“Did Natasha [my wife] told you about what happened to Gosha in DC [referring my my wife’s in-laws; last week they visited their friend in Washington DC; Gosha is Valentin’s cousin]”, I asked directing my question at everyone in the car.

“What happened?”, Valentin was the one to react, intrigued.

“Nothing.”

“Good one! This was really good, I have to give your credit”

“Can you pass me”, I asked Valentin stretching my hand without specifying what to pass. I was the one driving.

“What?”

“Nothing”
