Anonymous
Ransom Note - really! Look it up.

Kids Against Maturity is good for the 11-14 set. Lots of pee and poop puns. Just use CAH for 15+.

So, parents should just encourage the filth. Because the internet.

Teens play CAH IME both at sleepaway summer camp and in my neighborhood. Never have I supplied the game but I didn’t disallow my son from playing.

Oh, hi permissive parent.


You seem to have no idea what teenagers joke about to each other.

I don’t know what it’s like now but they can get really, really awful. Like “chunks of dead prostitute” was one of the answers.

I went through my deck and threw out everything that was really offensive. I think it worked pretty well and that might be an option for you, OP.


So, are you suggesting that your kids don't know what death is? Or that they don't know what prostitutes are?

Bubble Talk might be what you're looking for. Our kids like it.

I’m suggesting that chopping up sex workers isn’t funny.

+1. Just get the regular CAH and go through the deck to pitch the really vulgar ones. Most are okay.


You think your teens have never laughed and joked about something morbid? Probably something worse than “chunks of dead prostitutes”?

The fact that it’s morbid and messed up is what makes it funny. Unless you’ve raised extremely sheltered prudes I can guarantee if that card was played in a way that made (however kind of messed up) sense. Teenagers would laugh at it.

My DD loved CAH most as a young teen (14-15). She was introduced to it at debate tournaments of all things, they had so much fun and felt very naughtyand grown up. Didn’t seem to do any damage to her moral compass.

I have an idea, but why should parents encourage it?

Do better.

It’s funny that you think I don’t know what makes something funny. I do know. And the idea of a bunch of boys laughing about chinks of dead prostitutes makes me sick to my stomach. There are better ways for 15-year olds to be entertained.

Sure, give them more screen time I suppose. They can play video games. So much better than letting them do something fun that doesn’t involve a screen because something offends you.

I had friends with parents like this, we all just got on the same page about not mentioning the movies/shows/video games/jokes we told around them.
