My Mum and my daughter
by Alison/Aus
Mar 4, 2017
My Mum is a Scrabble fanatic - has been for decades. My daughter is visiting her this weekend and they challenged each other to a game. Getting late into the game, and with them running neck and neck and my sister making up the numbers, Mum is sitting on FOUNTAIN and she's ready to put it on the T that is sitting on the edge on the lower right hand side of the board. All seven letters gone and TWO triple word scores to boot. But first it's my daughter's turn. Yep, TAXI in the same spot. Not to be outdone, Mum put hers down elsewhere and it was enough to win the game, but not with the points value she would have had. Mum will no doubt remember that for a LOOOOONG time to come. :-) My sister wrote the story on the bottom of the score card which will be stored with lots of past scorecards in the same box as the game pieces, so it will live on in family legend for some time to come, I'll bet.
