Board Games

Rate this Entry
I don't like chess. It's too time consuming, and boring. I do, however, like scrabble. Very, very much. In fact, I've won every game I've ever played ... except, of course, the games I've played against my parents. I will beat them, though . . . one day.

Nobody in my family likes board games. Except scrabble, that is. My parent like it because it's the only game they always win, Andya, on the other hand, despises all board games with passion. She only plays with me when I force her to.

Card games, I think, are a bit boring. Spoon and skip-bo are the only ones I really enjoy.

We had some visitors over yesterday. Their oldest daughter is interested in learning arabic and my mom offered to help her. So that left me with the three other kids - why do homeschoolers have so many children, I wonder? I mean, I know a family with 14 kids. Fourteen! - Anyway, where was I? I didn't have any problems entertaining them, of course. But get this . . .

They're LOTR geeks, too!

All four of them! And that little kid from hebrew class, too! I swear, LOTR geeks are haunting me!

Did you know, if you rearrange "mother-in-law" in can become "woman hitler"? Weird, hunh? "

    No patience for board games. I deliberately have nevre learned card games as I suspect I would have contracted the gambling disease. At least your guests weren't Dragonball Z fans--my son dislikes that show for some reason. Let Andave know Time Warner is in the process of absorbing New Line--what this portends for The Hobbit movies is any one's guess.

    I'm not too good at Scrabble either but it is fun. I used to love Risk. I always got so much pleasure at conquoring the world. Muuuhhahaha *evil laugh*

    I love Scrabble. I play online in several foursomes. It is a whole different dynamic because you have seven days, yes, seven days to make a word. It is still fun though.

    I DESPISE all board games... can't stand them. Short attention span.

    I'm not allowed to play Scrabble anymore- apparently my mind is in the gutter. o.O
