Eleven letters short
When Lauren, my ten year old, took me up on the Scrabble challenge, I was unsure of what to expect. It's a complicated game, I said, with all those triple and double points to add up.
I told her I'd take it easy, but I just couldn't help choosing QUOTA. Opportunity arose to explain HENNA and OVA, and I was frankly unembarrassed to look the word BOUT up.
We learned alot that day, a game played between reading and writing. Next match has me excited though, she knows I'm a challenge...READY, SET,...hold it.
Okay, I spelled POO, (she added the 'L'.)
Just wanted to prove that I knowed it.
