Last night, we were playing Scrabble, and it's like neck and neck between me and her.

0:03.0

We blew my dad away early. So right at the end, I had this choice of putting down ratio for like five lousy points, or... Well, what, honey? Full ratio. On a triple word score for 24 points in the game? What'd she do? She wouldn't let me have it. She won by seven points because she said obscenities not allowed in Scrabble. Ugh.

Ugh.

Get out of the road, you stupid, store brand Travolta? Oh, come on. At least Zig, if you're not going to zag, you know what? I'm glad you're dead. Hey, not cool, Mr. Cotera.
