  1. ENY, you should have seen it…we were cracking up so bad we couldn’t speak and all the while he was demanding that my mom go get the dictionary and prove it was a real word!

  2. haha snappy!! that’s a great one

    other good scrabble words

    put a k infront of bar for KBAR – which apparently is a type of gun and is in the scrabb dictionary

    also super/superb is a fun one to play too.

    LOVE scrabble.

  3. ENY, that is very funny. I ran away from home as a child too. Mom wasn’t too worried as, from the seat on our porch, she could see me peering out from behind some trees wondering if and when she would start panicking and call out the search party / cops / bloodhounds, etc. Being the fat kid I was, less than an hour after running away, I ended up getting hungry and returning home so I wouldn’t miss dinner.

  4. I like to play scrabble with my parents. My dad always accuses my mom and I of making up words. Once my dad had put down the word ‘range.’ My mom added an ‘o’ to the beginning and my dad, in a temporary moment of illiteracy, had a fit. He began shouting, “WHAT THE F*** IS AN 0- RANGE?” It was hysterical!

  5. I remember when I was a kid my brother got pissed at my Mom and “ran away” from home. He was about 7-8 years old, a year older than me. He actually packed a suitcase and stormed out of the door! I told my Mom “He’s running away!” and my Mom was like, “Let him go.” I was shocked! I realized later than my Mom knew he wouldn’t be gone too long. Sure enough, he was back about 1/2 hour later. I said to him “Where did you go?” Turns out he decided he’d live in the comfort station/janitor’s closet in the public park about a block from our house. Once he got there, he realized it was locked and that his idea, besides being really dumb, was pretty impractical. He just slunk back into the house, and my Mom never even mentioned it. Moms are pretty smart sometimes.
