Pickup 52

June 15, 2005

omg why are you so mean???

Ok, I was going on rounds in the pediatric oncology wards, when one of my favorite kids asked if I could play a card game called *air quote* pickup 52 *air quote*. So, I went to the lounge, broke open a deck of cards, and gave it to her . . .

When I came home, I looked this up on the internet and found this:

Two players and a pack of 52 cards are needed. The first player offers the second player a game of 52 pick-up (or 52 card pickup). If the second player accepts, the first player scatters the 52 cards over the floor and says "52 - pick up!". The second player's job is then to reassemble the pack of cards by picking them all up.

That is all there is to it.

Yeah, 20/20 hindsight and all, but man, does everyone already know about this? I feel so out of the cool kids group T_T
