I am the world's best and worst Scrabble player. I would be the best if I could just stop myself from helping my opponents. I just can't stand to see people squirming around with their jumble of tiles. So, I look over and point out a way to make fifty points on a triple word score. I know, I'm totally lame!Vaughn, David, Lauren (D's friend), and I played tonight. Vaughn won. He called himself the Scrabble Champ. I was like...whatever! I guess he forgot how I helped him get thrity-two points on a word. Really, I think he was just prodding me because I wouldn't let him use the non-existent word "iradical" on a double word space.
Ryan came in briefly to help Lauren. That was rich! He tried to get her to put the word reason down...only it was spelled "reizen". This led me to realize that I am a total failure as a home-school teacher! My kids can't spell and Ryan still has to use a digital clock to tell time. Andrew only recently memorized the months in order. It's like they were raised in the jungle or something. Oh wait...they were raised in the jungle!
Anyway, next time I play Scrabble, I'm playing to win...unless someone looks really pathetic.
