Hayley and Em started a game of Scrabble on Sunday afternoon. Perfect game for a blustery, rainy Spring day. They played happily for a few minutes, then... there was a cry of excitement! Hayley scored her very first bingo with the word "listings"!! (I wish I could remember how many points she got!)For those of you not in the Scrabble know, a bingo is when you use all your letters in one play. It's a pretty big deal even for expert players, so when my 11 yr. old scored a bingo, we were so excited!
And the story gets better!
Just a few minutes later, Emma calls me over. "Mom, come look! Come look! Come look!" She was beaming -- there's just no other word for it! I looked at the board and she had scored a bingo, too! Yes, my 8 yr. old scored a bingo!! The word was "universe", btw, for which she earned 62 points!
Awesome, isn't it?
