Game suggestion for people who hate games

I hate shower games, but my SIL made a great game that went over very well at my shower.

 It was a madlibs-style story of our baby's birth. So the story had sentences like

"Jim packed the hospital bag but forgot Jane's_____ (noun). Jane was so _______(adjective) she made Jim promise to change all the ________(adjective) diapers."

"When the baby was born, Jim _________(past tense verb) with _______(emotion)."

"When everyone saw Baby_______(boy's name), they thought he had _________'s(family member) _________(body part).

... you get the idea. It was very fun. Guest filled in papers with just the words needed first, then filled in the story later. They worked in groups of two or three or individually. It was hilarious.

    One of the last showers I attended had mad libs type game and it was hysterical.  I typically despise shower games, but this one is really funny.

    Stupid question, but this is supposed to make up a story about our birth?  I won't have given birth yet when I have my shower.  Sorry if this is a stupid question.

    Yeah, its just made up. You could make it up about anything though, like about what your LO will look like and be like, etc. We just thought the delivery would be funny since a lot of crazy things can happen during the delivery, etc.

     yeah, the first page just had something like this:

    1. noun:_____________

    2. adjective:_______________

    3. adjective:_____________

    4. relative of the baby:_____________

    5. body part:____________

    The instructions were to fill in the blanks first, and then fill in the story when done (no peaking!).

    And then the 2nd page was the story itself, like this:

    When Jim packed the hospital bag, he forgot __________(1). Jane was so __________(2) she made Jim promise to change all the _________(3) diapers. When the baby was born, everyone thought he had __________'s(4) ___________(5).....etc.

    the total story had like 20-25 blanks. My DH picked the funniest as the winner, who got a prize

    Ok, I get it.  It sounds like it would be fun to make up a story about the birth.  This is definitely a great game for those of us who hate them!
