An 82 year old senior tells how Do Tell got him to participate and laugh again with his family

I had been suffering from a bout of depression recently so had little social life and, as a result, no opportunity to play one of my favorite games, Do Tell. So I was delighted when the game was introduced to a group of fellow melancholics; many of us had forgotten how to smile, much less laugh so I wondered how we might respond to this game designed to foster humor and communication. Much to my surprise and delight I found myself soon engaged and participating, laughing heartily at some of my own antics as well as those of the other players. Pleased, I looked around and saw smiles and heard sounds of mirth from my fellow players, some of whom rarely smiled, much less roared. So if you're blue or discouraged I recommend a rousing game of Do Tell! submitted by Bill of Burlingame, 82
