This time, I had chosen rock, while my friend had chosen scissors. Rock crushes scissors, so I won the third game and took the series two games to one. My friend and I both laughed and congratulated each other on a game well played.

As we packed up to leave, my friend turned to me and said, “You know, I think I’ve got some new strategies to work on for next time.” I smiled and replied, “I’m looking forward to it. Let’s do it again soon.”

So the next time you’re looking for something to do with a friend or family member, consider breaking out the old RPS game. You never know - you might just find yourself reliving old memories and creating new ones.
