every year our family reunion features a highly competitive game of charades And this time Uncle Lou was determined to win the coveted golden mime trophy He was up next and with a dramatic flourish he began mimming what we assumed was some sort of acrobatic escape artist He contorted at his face wiggled his arms and performed an elaborate pantomime of squeezing through a tight space We watched in awe convinced he was portraying some kind of Houdini The audience was enthralled each of us guessing wildly trapped in a box trying to escape until we noticed he had been in the same spot for an unusually long time It wasn't until Lou started frantically waving unable to vocalize his distress that we realized he wasn't acting Uncle Lou had somehow managed to get legitimately stuck in the window frame he leaned against for dramatic effect As we pulled him free he gasped
