The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for October 03, 2012

They also decided to play without the board,

so they wouldn’t have to do all that complicated arithmetic…

Triple letter, double word…who’s got time for THAT?(More like who’s got the 2nd grade arithmetic skills to DO it?)

So not only will this game have the shortest words ever, it’ll have the lowest scores, too.

pssstt…Not that I want to tell on Joy…but read the To Do list….she’d cheat her own mother!

I dunno why that would be surprising.

And SimpsonFan…. NOTHING will keep that couch level…especially when only one of them is sitting on it.

Timmy hates to sit on the couch cos if one of he adults sits down, his end goes so high in the air it’s hard to get down.

And no, it’s WORSE if the other person stands up for him…It hurts when his seat slams to the ground.

Think maybe they are playing with the q and z this time? No board either I wouldn’t want to play with them either. I have a hard enough time playing word games with people who don’t cheat.and we don’t use a dictionary either. My spelling sucks anyway. Dyslexia kicks in at the wrong time for me. I love the spell check though.

No finials on the chairs today.

It also looks like Joy had to try three times to find a game she could cheat at.

“Make Ding Dongs for Ma” I wonder if Ma taught Joy to “make” ding dongs.

Burl’s in his running shorts……5 days until the Chicago Marathon.

Does Bul’s shirt mean that he plans to stand on his head? I think that is almost as unlikely as his running a marathon. Susan’s ideas for the location of thir dictionary is also likely. Ith only printed ones I have now are the ones to translate in or out of other languages.

I like the cross stitch, “Bricks are smart too”. I just wouldn’t want to run into a whole wall of them, they’d stonewall me.

I think “Bricks are smart, Too” refers to Burl as in he is as dumb as a…

How does a “ding-dong” make a “ding-dong”?

According to the list item on the board, someone is cheating. :-)

Now, am I being rude by wondering why Burl would think the words were tiny? I cannot fathom him using longer, multisyllabic words regardless of whether he has a dictionary or not…. in the game, nor in day-to-day life.

I use a Ouija Board to get my Scrabble words.@Gymshoe from yesterdayGood advice on the 911 test. Thanks

Mikie…. um, thanks….but it’s not a contest.Room for all.

Anyway had I known I might have to show up for a prize I would have worn a nicer skirt.
