It, combined with ...This was an interesting lesson. It, combined with some excerpts of stories I've been scanning tonight, brought me to a completely different idea than everyone else. I'd do an opposite's night, like in the past, only I'd make it have to do with romance.<br /><br />Let a couple change their habits for the night. If the man is normally all business, never playful or loving, during this one night, he can indulge his woman's every whim. <br /><br />If the female is normally frigid and restrained in bed, this one night, let her be carefree and willing to try new things. If she's normally a very submissive woman who spends her days taking orders from everyone in her life, during this one night, let her be in control. <br /><br />To me, this would be a fun way to modernize a historic night, while exploring a different angle to this holiday. Hope you enjoy. <br /><br />youngmomx3@aol.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08684957772408794616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414288368779581069.post-3761005657630552102010-12-13T21:19:04.443-05:002010-12-13T21:19:04.443-05:00An opposite party would be really interesting.

My kids used to have opposite day at school, and they always thought that was too fun. They could dress as the opposite sex, behave differently than usual, or even wear their shoes on the wrong feet. They loved trying to come up with different ways to express themselves each year. It could get wild if it were a bunch of adults. <br /><br />Very interesting. Thanks for sharing, Jamaica.
