SHE WINS!!!!! No one passes out unless they were really holding their breath!!!
-
Hahaha! I just know Chrissy cheated, at least.
-
-
Genius.
-
:D
-
-
That was one really long tunnel!
-
Poor Charlotte also had to hold her breath over every bridge and past every graveyard. No wonder she was always light-headed.
-
-
That’s a game I bet everyone loses the first time.
-
My husband and I play this game on long roadtrips through the mountains. It’s tough, but so gratifying when you actually make it.
-
Um, may I suggest the DRIVER take a pass on this game when going through the mountains? You know, because of that passing-out thing?
-
-
-
hahaha! Too funny. I would have lost for sure!
-
It’s so hard!
-
-
Loved the way you changed the colours of everything in the tunnel. And the puffed-up cheeks of course!
-
Thanks :) Originally, I made it a GIF, but then it dawned on me that it would be more tunnel-like if it was all stretched out.
-
-
I remember a game where we all screamed as we went through the tunnel. If I recall correctly, my father decided that we would not ever repeat that game.
-
That is hysterical!
-
-
Brilliant! Love the way the lights play on their faces… magic.
-
Thank you! :)
-
-
my parents loved us playing that game… it guaranteed they had some quiet time. I swear my dad slowed down in the tunnels!
-
Hahahaha!
-
-
I actually think I might stand a chance at winning that game. I like swimming underwater so naturally I can hold my breath for a while.
-
It’s great. I pretend I’m an oyster diver whenever we drive through tunnels.
-
-
Pure genius! I’ve missed you!
-
Aw, I miss everyone, too. Only a few more weeks until I return to my new normal life and have free time again!
-
-
Haha, I remember starting to feel a little dizzy through tunnels, but never actually passed out. That’s commitment!
-
Charlotte’s son used to get mad and hold his breath until he passed out. The first time I saw him do it, I freaked out! He turned blue! Like a cartoon! Kids are weird.
-
My mom said my brother would do that. She would freak out and spank him (once) to snap him out of it. lol
-
Kids are weird. Think about how creepy that is! They get mad at you so they punish you by making you think that you caused their death!

LOVE that bumper sticker! Too funny!
-
Ha! Thanks :D
-
-
Exactly…you captured the lights in the tunnel just as it happens…and yes, the tunnels were long.
-
Oh my gosh, I thought you were all going to pass out. That was one long tunnel. Brilliant work especially with the headlights playing along.
-
I don’t remember either my brother or I playing this game – and we went on a lot of road trips as kids.
I do remember us playing “roller coaster” on really hilly stretches of road – complete with the clanks of the chains going up the hills and blood curdling screams going down the other side while we swayed from side to side depending on the curves. Come to think of it – I have no idea how my parents didn’t kill us the first time! :-)
This was great!
-
I never played that game growing up. I didn’t know what the kids were actually doing, but it was a funny post none-the-less. :)
-
yay!!! you’re back!! Loved this one, specially the bumper sticker on the car! teehehe!!! :D
-
ditto on the bumber sticker!
-
-
I also don’t remember playing that game, and I imagine my parents would have loved it since there were five of us. But then the only tunnel I remember going through was the one under the Detroit River to Windsor, Ontario. It terrified me because I kept looking at the water running down the tiled walls and expected the whole thing to collapse in on us.
-
Brilliant as always.. love the bumper sticker! You always have such a good imagination for details
-
lol… beautiful…
-
I held my breath the whole time I read that story. I’m a clarinetist, and it was still hard for me. Anyway, great story–I think Chrissy cheated too. One question, though–did the game continue after Charlotte passed out, or did your parents put the kibosh on the “tunnel game” (and bridge and graveyard game, apparently) out of concern for Charlotte’s (and everyone’s) health?

Reblogged this on Perky & Friends.

LOVE this! Fantastic post. Love the journey through the tunnel with the lights – that’s genius, Nicole. I STILL do this even now that I’m the driver. Favourite one to do it through is the Clyde Tunnel in Glasgow.
-
This is such a fun place to stop by!
-
I love how you repeated the panels, I was holding my breath through the whole tunnel sequence, though, and almost passed out!
-
My daughter and I play tunnel games, too. Only, we shout at the top of our lungs to see if we can keep the shout going without taking in a breath all the way through the tunnel. If it’s a super super long tunnel, we see who could do the shout in the least amounts of breaths. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh!
You get the idea. It’s noisy, but it’s fun!
-
hahahaha! I love it!
-
-
Nice.
-
I didn’t actually get a chance to look at any of your panels because I scrolled down so fast to beat the challenge. I’m sure you did your usual fine job. ;)
-
I’m a middle sister myself. exactly in the middle of 5 sisters. Who cares about those two brothers. If we did, my older brother is the middlest child. I always thought my mother invented this game to keep us from screaming through the tunnels. Maybe she did and the game just caught on….
-
Always so much fun to discover your stories. Happy Spring!
-
lol! Brought back memories. :)
I didn’t cheat, I held out to then end.
I try my best to get round to other Blogs and when I do I’m always pleasantly surprised.
Thanks for artistically, giving me a smile….Have a good week, -
this is very nostalgic for me :) although, when my siblings and I played, we tickled each other as a form of cheating
-
Tunnels are pretty interesting to me. Love the way you created the effects of light and expressions on your characters. good work! creative!
-
Brilliant. Your work is poetry. I’d expound on that but lack of oxygen from complying to your opening dare leaves me a bit brain dead and breathless! (The next generation of my family just requests for horn blowing. Hard on our ears, but much easier on the diaphragm!)
-
Nikki, I’m dying to see your next story. ;)
-
You are absolutely amazing and this was hilarious! <3

-
Impressive! :D
