My parents and I are known Scrabble enthusiasts. The difference between them and I, however, is that they're actually crazy good. My dad is a skilled strategist, known for his put-down-one-letter-and-build-five-words kinds of moves. And he never lets an available Triple Word Score pass him by (which is insanely annoying to my mom and I). My mom knows lots of obscure words and she's also good at seeing the many possibilities in the letters she happens to have. I hold my own, but, extremely frustratingly, never seem to win. So far, we've played both nights I've been home. The score is Mom: 2, Tie between Dad and Mom: 1, Me: A big fat lousy zero.
