Tonight, it was cutthroat scrabble at it's scrappiest! With mom here, it's more fun and interesting. When Ron and I play, it's also fun, but we somehow seem limited to words like "cat" and "zoo." Of course, zoo is used a lot, since nobody seems to be able to come up with any other 'z' words. Except, of course, those brainiac kids in the National Spelling Bee. I hate those kids. Tonights word of entertainment turned out to be smeet. After our match, we were scrambling to spell out names to call each other. I found "loon" and "dud." Mom found "smeet." As in, "It's not vegetables, it'smeet!" Or something like that.
On Tuesday, she tried to get away with ovu. She claimed it was singular for ovum. NOT! I do not have one ovu, nor do I have two.
Ron is usually the one with the creative spelling. He, however, had the audacity to challenge one of my words the other night. I had spelled out coven, as in, a coven of witches. It was not found in my Funk and Wagnalls, (circa 1922- or is that 1622? Actually, it's a modern one: 1977) but it is defined by Wikipedia which is, as everyone knows, the end all and be all of all knowledge in the universe. So there. And it's almost as fun to say as Funk and Wagnalls.
As you can see, we really need to get a life.
A hui hou. Aloha!
