My sister Sarah and I found out something tonight that most people don’t know: Bingo is an extremely competitive sport. And yes, I said sport lol. We went tonight to experience for the first time what we thought was going to be a small, short little game, and instead we discovered an unknown world of diehards.
Buying the cards was hilarious because even though I told the lady I had never really played, she still spoke in Bingo-talk lol. Needless to say I didn’t yet know about the “Casino Round” or what the “First Share of Wealth” even was.

Our next funny crisis came when we realized we had come unprepared! It is not an exaggeration to say that every single person had a dabber except us lol. (That’s the official name…I asked lol ) It is also not an exaggeration to say that most of these diehards each owned at least five different colors, and one lady had at least twelve her Bingo tool kit! Because we were so obviously out of place, in both age and skill, I thought perhaps someone might let us borrow a dabber. These Bingo-ers were not interested in talking much. In fact Sarah and I were the only ones talking/laughing most of the time. BUT…I can now tell you I am the official owner of a hot pink dabber.
We had an absolute blast! After we got the hang of the Bingo-lingo, we both got into the game. Especially the last round, where I was TWO spaces away from $1000!! GAHH!!!
( Fyi…the lady directly to my left was making tie-dye guitar pick earrings the entire time haha. Also a few rows away is the lady who used a clapper when she yelled Bingo lol.)
(A little blurry but still funny lol. )
SOOOOO many more stories that you’d want to hear about the hilarious night. How fun =)
