How to kick butt at Scrabble

by BuckDaddy on April 28, 2009

Have a kid, wait a couple of years until they develop to the point where if you say a word that it sends them into hysteria if they hear it.

First it will start with simple conversations and words such as:

Mommy: Hey honey can you pick up some m-i-l-k.

Daddy: Sure do you want me to get some c-o-o-k-i-e-s too.

Next it will take over your whole life to where you spell almost everything your kid loves because you don’t want to upset them with the mention of items for fear of hearing “I WANT (insert item)” until they are blue in the face.

Mommy: You know she is not feeling well when she asks me to turn off m-o-v-i-e so she could s-l-e-e-p.

Daddy: Were you watching c-i-n-d-e-r-r-e-l-l-a or c-h-i-p-m-u-n-k-s

Mommy: Not those but l-i-t-t-l-e m-e-r-m-a-i-d

Daddy: Spell it again but slower.

You eventually will get to the point where you either talk using shorter words so you don’t have to spell or where you speak in code and use m for milk and c for cookie.

Mommy: Go to W and get Ca for H and we’ll go to P and F H and S

Translation: Go to Walmart and get a bad of carrots for the horses and we’ll go to park (Shelby Farms) and feed the horses and then go to the playground and slide.

Soon we’ll just be speaking in Morse code or pure letters.

this is too funny! I do the exact same thing, but Antonio doesn’t play along so Tatum usually ends up getting upset over something. Glad to see I am not the only one that thinks ‘spelling it out’ can save us from some of the fits in our house!
