The War of the Rings

"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."

"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?"
