"Well here we are again butting heads at Scrabble."
"Um, Yeah. You wanna go first Ma."
"First? Why should I go first?" G R I P E........18 points
"I don't know, just thought you'd like that"
"Oh. So if you let me go first in Scrabble, you think I'll forget that I was the last to know about your plans to be engaged to Jim."
"Awe Ma, don't get started." P L E A D........10 points
"What? You thought I wouldn't mind you announcing your engagement to Jim on Facebook?"
"I didn't announce my engagement to Jim on Facebook. I just said we were looking for rings."
"Right. So that meant what? A ring in his nose, or new ring tones on your phones, or an engagement ring?" D O U B T...........9 points
"Jeeshe mom! I would have called you eventually."
"Yeah that's cool. MG emails me and says what's up with Jim and Sarah? She read on Facebook that you two were ring shopping. Like that's not awkward or embarrassing for me. I had no clue."
" Well, it was a surprise to me too. I didn't know he was going to take me out shopping."
Q U I C K........32 points
"Nice. Real nice. Way to jump on that gifted "U". And you could have called me instead of posting it on line first."
B R A T ......12 points
"Lets open one of the bottles we brought home from the Finger Lakes. The wine there was great." G I F T.........28 points
"Oh that's right. I remember reading on Facebook that you guys were spending a few days there." T A C K Y ..........16 points
"You are being so pissy. It's just easier to post things on Facebook. Everyone can see it at once and it saves me time."
"So what are you now ? A virtual child?"
"Well first off, I'm not a child anymore. And we are here playing Scrabble together aren't we?"
R E A L I T Y......20 points
"Only cause you haven't downloaded a Scrabble Game on your computer. Yet!" P O U T.....9 points
"You mean we could play this on line together?"
"Together? This is together! That would be....um....Oh just pour me that stupid wine."
U N C L E .......10 points
"Hey, Ma. Did you know that you can send someone a round on Facebook?"
"Great! When I have to start drinking virtual alcohol you can just shoot me."

Lights Out
"What's up with your game tonight? I'm not even having fun beating you!"
"Been a long week and I'm tired of thinking. The ten hour days are killing me. I love having Monday off but don't think I'll ever get use to this schedule."
W H I N E .......28 points
"Well, its not like you have to go home and take care of kids or pets or a husband or anything."
T O U G H.......12 points
"I know but I just want to shower, eat something and crawl under the covers when I get home."
"So just do that"
"I try, but things keep popping up. Like last week, the construction outside the library made me 20 minutes late getting home. I waited through five light changes at State and Snow."
U N F A I R ......10 points
"You use to have to comute across town ma."
" I know. But then I pulled up to the underground parking garage at the apartment and my electronic key wouldnt work. Found out the electricity was out."
"So just park outside and forget about it" Q U E E N .........36 points
"Yeah, sure, but then I couldn't use the elevators."
C U R S E.........12 points
"OH...sucks to live on the seventh floor." P I T Y.........18 points
"You get the picture now. Huffed my way to the top of the stairs. Then I kept wandering in and out of rooms flipping switches like they were gonna work." I D I O T ........8 points
"How long were the lights off?" H O L E ........10 points
"About three hours. I lit some candles and took a quick shower so my hair would dry before I went to bed, since I couldn't use my blowdrier. Then I sat in the living room starving to death cause I couldn't even heat up the frozen soup I was gonna have."
"So why didnt you go out and get a pizza?"
"Thats what Rudy said. No way was I gonna go up and down seven flights of stairs again. Even for pizza. I'd rather starve."
L A Z Y......28 points
"Don't suppose they'd deliver on the seventh floor either?"
"Probably not. I finally called Rudy and whined about sitting in the dark with nothing to eat."
"Bet he loved that." C R A Z Y .........17 points
"Yeah well he just laughed and reminded me that I had a gas stove."
"Oh my god mom! You're kidding. You forgot you had gas instead of electric?"
"Yeah. He found that quite amusing too. He said, "Put the soup in a pan and put it on the gas flame just like they did in the old days." Then he added, "Don't forget to plug it in Hon!"
A S S H O L E.........10 points
"You can't use that! Besides, it's a horrible waste of your esses"
C H E A T.......12 points
"Why not? Just hooking on to your hole. Give me a break here. And you let me worry about wasting my tiles."
"You need a keeper not a boyfriend, Ma"
"You're probably right. Someday you'll be getting a call from poor Rudy saying I've gone missing. Just wandered off somewhere. "
G U I L T ........8 points
"Right! I'm gonna go open another bottle of wine and try to swallow some of this BS your'e handing out tonight. Meanwhile, just focus on the game OK?" L O S T .........4 points
"I'm trying. I'm trying.
