MY FATHER OWNS...

THIS IS A GAME WHERE THE PERSON WHO IS IT STARTS
BY SAYING "MY FATHER OWNS A (NAME) STORE AND IN THIS
STORE THERE IS A PARTICULAR ITEM WHICH I AM THINKING
OF AND IT BEGINS WITH THE LETTER ---." IF THEY GUESS
WHAT IT IS, THEY TRY TO BEAT THE "IT" TO A LINE.
THE FIRST ONE TO THE LINE IS THE NEW "IT."
