Trevor Eats Scrabble for Breakfast
Continuing the geek theme...
Even at nine, Trevor is a formidable Scrabble foe. At one point, he made PUBLIC, then later created REPUBLIC, to which I countered with REPUBLICAN. With triple word scores, we were getting 50-40 points per turn. At the end of the game, we were within seven points of each other.
But what does it say about me that I can come within an inch of being beaten by a fourth-grader? 'Course, we were playing loosey-goosey "It's Almost Bedtime" rules in which you get 14 tiles at a time and proper nouns are fine.
